The University of California faces a raft of unfair labor practice complaints from the state's Public Employment Relations Board.
As the strike by University of California instructors and researchers stretches through its second week, a labor board has issued a series of complaints against the system in response to unfair labor practice charges filed by the employees' unions.
UCSD also was the subject of the Wednesday complaints. The agency alleged that university retaliated against an employee who sought support for a union bargaining position and that the UC system failed to respond to legitimate requests for information from the union. In an email, UC spokesman Ryan King noted that while the unions have filed numerous charges against the system, none of has been proven yet.
The unions have charged that UC has sought to exclude certain parts of employee pay from what's covered by union contracts. That would leave such pay to be determined — or taken away — solely by the university, without the consent of the unions, they say. UC also initially withheld the names of 187 graduate workers who were ostensibly in the bargaining unit, according to the complaint. Although it eventually handed over the names, it never responded to the unions' request for information about why it had excluded them from its initial list, PERB said in the complaint.
