What types of allegations does PERB review?
A. The statutes enforced by PERB do not prohibit all acts of perceived unfairness or discrimination against covered employees; rather, PERB’s jurisdiction is limited to resolving claims of unfair practices which violate the applicable Act. For example, PERB has jurisdiction to consider claims by an employee organization that the employer has failed and/or refused to bargain in good faith or has interfered with employee organization rights granted by the statute. Also, an individual employee may file an unfair practice charge alleging that the employer or the employee organization representing him or her has discriminated against the employee in reprisal for protected activity under the Act, or has interfered with rights guaranteed by the Act. An employer may also file a charge against a union, alleging, for example, that the union failed to bargain in good faith.
