This guide provides a comprehensive look at the unfair practices created by state laws covering public school, state, higher education, and local government employees. The 4th edition details important developments in California’s public sector labor law, including the Board’s new arbitration deferral standards, restoration of the doctrine of equitable tolling, and the addition of three new statutes to PERB’s jurisdiction:

• Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act (TCEPGA), which governs labor relations between California state trial courts and their employees;
• Trial Court Interpreter Employment and Labor Relations Act (TCIELRA), which governs labor relations between the trial courts and court interpreters; and
• Los Angeles Country Metropolitan Transportation Authority Transit Employer-Employee Relations Act (TEERA), which covers supervisory employees of the transit agency.

Along with extensive new statutory and regulatory text, the guide includes the unfair practice sections of EERA, the Dills Act, HEERA, the MMBA, TCEPGA, TCIELRA, and TEERA. A guide to cases further elaborates what conduct is unlawful, and a glossary defines labor relations terms.
