Decision 3031E – United Teachers Los Angeles (Miller)
LA-CO-1907-E
Decision Date: June 16, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Letecia Miller alleged that United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) breached its duty of fair representation when it failed or refused to file a grievance challenging the Los Angeles Unified School District’s decision not to re-elect her as a Career Technical Education teacher, a position she held pursuant to a one-year contract. After reviewing Miller’s charge and subsequent amendments, PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) issued her a warning letter, explaining that the facts Miller alleged, if proven, would not establish that UTLA had breached its duty of fair representation or otherwise violated EERA. The warning letter gave Miller an opportunity to amend her charge. Miller did so, but OGC concluded that Miller had not sufficiently cured the deficiencies explained in the warning letter. OGC therefore dismissed the amended charge. Miller appealed.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed OGC’s dismissal.
