Decision A536M – City of Thousand Oaks
LA-RR-1368-M
Decision Date: January 13, 2026
Decision Type: Administrative Appeal (Non-Precedential)
Description: Petitioner International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 442 (IATSE) initiated a Request for Recognition with PERB based on an allegation that the City of Thousand Oaks was unduly delaying a recognition request IATSE had filed with the City pursuant to the City’s local rules. PERB’s Office of the General Counsel dismissed the matter, and IATSE appealed. While the appeal was pending before the Board, the City referred IATSE’s recognition request to the State Mediation and Conciliation Service (SMCS) for a card check pursuant to the City’s local rules. Thereafter, SMCS informed the Board’s Appeals Office that IATSE had withdrawn its recognition request without prejudice, and accordingly SMCS would not be proceeding with the card check and had closed the matter.
Disposition: The Board issued an Order to Show Cause indicating that the case appeared to be moot and affording IATSE an opportunity to either withdraw the case without prejudice or show cause why it was not moot. IATSE did not respond, and the Board therefore found the matter to be moot and dismissed it without prejudice.
