What is the difference between the Governors Office of Employee Relations (GOER) and the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB)?
The Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER) acts as the Governor’s agent as the employer in negotiating and administering collective bargaining agreements for Executive Branch public employees represented by the State’s nine public employee unions. The New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) is the independent, neutral agency that administers the Taylor Law which established representation and collective bargaining rights for all public employees throughout the State. As a neutral agency, the Board acts primarily as an umpire in public employment disputes and conducts educational programs for the public and the labor relations community.
