Decision 3055M – Registered Nurses Professional Association (Kiesel)
SF-CO-558-M
Decision Date: September 8, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party Ginger Kiesel alleged that Respondent Registered Nurses Professional Association violated the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA; Gov. Code, § 3500 et seq.) by retaliating against her for protected activity, interfering with protected rights under the MMBA, and breaching its duty of fair representation. After reviewing Kiesel’s charge and an amendment, PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) issued her a warning letter, explaining that the facts Kiesel alleged, if proven, would not state a prima facie case of any MMBA violation. The letter afforded Kiesel an opportunity to amend her charge and thereby attempt to cure its deficiencies, which Kiesel did by filing a second amended charge. Following review, OGC dismissed the second amended charge, concluding that it failed to allege a prima facie case of any unfair practice.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the dismissal without leave to amend.
