SF-IM-156-M
Decision Date: October 15, 2015
Decision Type: Administrative Appeal
Description: A City and County appealed from an administrative determination that a single-issue dispute involving matters arguably encompassed by a collective bargaining agreement were subject to factfinding under the MMBA.
Disposition: The Board affirmed the administrative determination and the Board’s holding in County of Contra Costa (2014) PERB Order No. Ad-410-M that the plain language of the MMBA and its legislative history indicate that the Legislature intended to make MMBA factfinding available for any “difference” over any matter within the scope of representation, including single-issue disputes, so long as the employee organization’s request is timely and the dispute is not subject to one of the statutory exceptions.
