Bill > SB1173

This bill, beginning on July 1, 2021, would generally authorize an exclusive representative (such as a labor union) to file a charge of an unfair labor practice with the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) alleging a violation of the requirement for public employers to provide certain employee information to the exclusive representative. The bill would allow the public employer a limited opportunity to cure certain violations, such as providing an inaccurate or incomplete list of employees. If the violation is not cured, the bill would subject the public employer to a civil penalty of up to $10,000, to be determined by PERB based on factors like the employer's budget and the severity of the violation. The bill would also require PERB to award attorney's fees and costs to a prevailing charging party.
