Description
This guide provides a thorough description of the Dills Act – how it works, its history, and how it fits in with other labor relations laws. Also included are Public Employment Relations Board enforcement procedures, the text of the act, and a summary of all key cases that interpret the act, with complete citations and references to CPER analyses. In addition, there is a summary of PERB rules and regulations, a case index, and a glossary of terms designed for Dills Act users.
Since the 2006 edition, the Governor’s reorganization plan has created a new Department of Human Resources that took over the responsibilities of the Department of Personnel Administration and limited the role of the State Personnel Board. This new pocket guide edition summarizes over 60 PERB and court decisions that have issued since 2006 – cases that develop and clarify areas of the law such as interference and discrimination, duty to bargain, scope of bargaining, impasse resolution, protected activity, PERB jurisdiction and procedures, and unilateral action, among others.
