Decision 3029M – County of Sacramento
SA-CE-1322-M
Decision Date: June 9, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party United Public Employees (UPE) appealed the dismissal of its unfair practice charge against Respondent County of Sacramento by PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC). UPE’s charge alleged that the County discriminated against a bargaining unit member’s exercise of protected activity when it delayed her merit step increase because of her participation in a one-day strike. UPE alleged that the County did not delay employees’ merit step increases because of unpaid leave taken for other, unprotected reasons. OGC determined that UPE had not alleged sufficient facts to show that the County delayed the bargaining unit member’s merit step increase because of her protected activity, and dismissed the charge.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board reversed OGC’s dismissal of the charge, and remanded with instructions to OGC to issue a complaint.
