From October 2016 through the present, SEIU and the County have been engaged in negotiations for a successor MOU. Since that time, SEIU has filed numerous unfair practice charges with PERB alleging that the County has failed and refused to bargain in good faith, erfered with protected activities, retaliated against employees for engaging in strike activi and unlawfully moved to impose new terms and conditions of employment, as more fully detailed below. ion of the subject matter of this action pursuant to Code 1.

Bargaining History 3. SEIU and the County (collectively referred to as “parties”) were parties to a ‘memorandum of understanding (MOU) that governed the SEIU-represented bargaining units, which expired on November 30, 2016. 4, The parties began negotiating for a successor MOU in September 2016.

On July 19, 2017, the parties held a bargaining session at which the County presented SEIU with its Last, Best, and Final Offer (LBFO). On or about July 26, 2017, the parties held a bargaining session at which SETU presented its counter-proposal to the County’s LBFO. 6. On August 29, 2017, SEIU gave notice that it intended to go on strike on ‘September 6 and 7, 2017, to protest the County’s unfair practices. The noticed strike involved approximately 6,000 employees at nearly all of the County's facilities, including Riverside University Health System’s (RUHS) medical centers and clinics. 7. The following day, the County declared impasse, and filed an unfair practice charge with an accompanying request for injunctive relief to enjoin essential employees from striking (PERB Case No. LA-CO-222-M). 8. PERB authorized its Office of General Counsel to seek a temporary restraining order (TRO), which the Superior Court of the County of Riverside issued on September 5, 2017 (Case No: RIC 1716450, Hon. John Vineyard presiding). The TRO enjoined over 1,000 ‘SEIU-represented members from striking, over 400 of who worked at RUHS. 9. After the September strike, the parties participated in the post-impasse factfinding process provided for in Government Code section 3505.4. ‘The factfinding process included six days of hearings. On April 9, 2018, the cl irperson of the factfinding panel issued his report and recommended resolution of the bargaining dispute. The County filed its, dissent to the chairperson’ report and recommendation on April 16, 2018. 10. On May 8, 2018, the County’s elected Board of Supervisors conducted a public hearing conceming the faetfinding report. At that public hearing, the County's chief negotiator and labor attorney, Ed Zappia, urged the Board of Supervisors to implement the County's July 2017 LBEO. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the County's Board of Supervisors took the matter under submission. On information and belief, the County's Board of Supervisors could vote to impose the LBFO at its next regularly scheduled meeting on May 22, 2018, or sooner if it calls a special meeting for that purpose.

As of the time of the September 2017 strike, SEIU had filed more than a dozen Unfair Practice Charges (UPCs) against the County. As to those UPCs, PERB has issued the following complaints, listed by case number: LA-CE-1168-M (surveillance); LA-CE-1174-M (surveillance); LA-CE-1188-M (harassment! intimidation/discriminatory application of dress code policy); LA CE-1191-M (unilateral changes to call off policy at RUHS); LA-CE-1192- M (access; harassment/intimidation; surveillance); LA-CE-1198-M (access); LA-CE-1199-M (unlawful restriction on display of Union logo at workplace); LA-CE-1207-M (access); LA~ CE-1208-M (unlawful restriction on display of Union logo at different worksite); LA-CE- 1209-M (bad faith bargaining — shifting negotiators); LA-CE-1212-M (bad faith bargaining —- surface bargaining); LA-CE-1213-M (bad faith bargaining — regressive bargaining); LA- CE-1214-M (bad faith bargaining — surface bargaining); LA-CE-1220-M (failure to fumish information); LA-CE-1222-M (bad faith bargaining — refusal to schedule bargaining sessions); LA-CE-1224-M (surveillance/interference); LA-CE-1239-M (bad faith bargaining—premature declaration of impasse); LA-CE-1240-M (unilateral change, interference, and discrimination); LA-CE-1242-M (unlawful restrictions on union-related literature in workplace). These complaints are scheduled to be heard in July 2018, before a Strike Interference Complaint Related to County’s Use of Strike Replacements 12. Onor about January 23, 2018, SEIU filed a UPC against the County (PERB Case No, LA-CE-1274-M) alleging the following: After the September 2017 strike, SEIU discovered that the County had entered into a contract with a company, Nurse Bridge, that specialized in providing strike replacement healthcare workers. Additional evidence further revealed that the County had ordered approximately 60 nurse replacements, which Nurse Bridge provided during the strike. These facts were not disclosed to PERB, SEIU, or the Court prior to the issuance of a TRO enjoining over 400 healthcare workers from striking. Instead, the County stated in declarations and in open court that it could not obtain any nurse replacements for the strike, The County concealed the Nurse Bridge contract from PERB and 4 Complaint for injunctive Relief u 12 13 14 1s 16 7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 the Court in order to interfere with the employees’ right to strike and retaliate against 13. Upon request from SEIU, PERB expedited the investigation of Case No. LA~ CE-1274-M and issued a complaint on or about February 26, 2018. The matter has been in June 2018, assigned to an ALJ for a hearing to begi ‘Termination of Mary Carcillar, RN, for Participating in SEIU’s September 2017 Strike 14, On or about December 22, 2017, SEIU filed a UPC against the County (PERB Case No. LA-CE-1270-M) alleging the following: On October 31, 2017, the County summoned Mary Carcillar, a Registered Nurse at RUHS, to an investigatory interview where it coercively interrogated her about her strike participation and other protected activities. The County asserted that its hired process server had served the TRO on Carcillar before the beginning of the September strike, but that she had willfully refused to report to work as ordered by the Court. Carcillar denied receiving a copy of the TRO until after the strike had ended. Nevertheless, the County determined that Carcillar was lying, that her conduct constituted a violation of the TRO, and that she endangered RUHS’ reputation and patients by striking. On this basis, the County fired Carcillar on or about November 30, 2017. 15. Upon SEIU’s request, PERB’s Office of General Counsel expedited the investigation of Case No. LA-CE-1270-M and issued a complaint on or about January 10, 2018. The matter proceeded to a hearing before an ALJ and the record was closed in April 2018. Presently, the parties are awaiting the ALJ’s proposed decision. Facts Alleged in SEIU’s Most Recent UPC 16. On May 2, 2018, SEIU filed its latest UPC against the County, PERB Case No. LA-CE-1306-M, alleging that the County has systematically interrogated nurses about their protected strike activities, fired two more nurses because of they participated in the strike, and is moving to implement its LBFO when no legal, good faith impasse is possible because of the existence of unremedied UPCs. SEIU also requested that PERB seek injunctive relief in this matter to preserve the status quo ante pending resolution of the administrative process. a 5 ‘Complaint for Injunctive Relief See ye u 12 B 4 15 16 7 18 19 20 21 2 23 24 25 26 27 28 Coercive Interrogations 17, Beginning on or about October 31, 2017, and continuing on various dates thereafter, the County’s Human Resources department and other managers interrogated the following Registered Nurses, and others, about their participation in a strike and/or other protected activities: Karina Cover (Cover), Shari Sagastume (Sagastume), Pilar Ham, Pamela Ligera, Loren LiCayan, Marie Josie Sanchez, Cindy Rivera, and Maria Mendoza. 18 SEIU alleges that these interrogations were coercive and for the purpose of interfering with the protected right to strike. ‘Termination of RN Cover 19. On or about April 13, 2018, the County fired Cover because she participated in SEIU’s September 2017 strike. According to the County, its hired process server had served Cover with a copy of the TRO, but Cover did not report to work as ordered. Cover, however, denies having been served andlor states that she was not aware she was subject to the TRO. Termination of RN Sagastume 20. On or about April 26, 2018, the County fired Sagastume because participated in a SEIU’s September 2017 strike. According to the County, its hired process server had served Sagastume with a copy of the TRO, but Sagastume did not report to work as ordered. Sagastume, however, denied having been served and/or states that she was not aware she was subject to the TRO. 21. SEIU alleges that these terminations were in retaliation for the employees’ participation in protected strike activities and were designed to chill the bargaining unit's desire to engage in future strikes, Allegations of Chill and Disaffection 22. In support of its request for injunctive relief, SEIU provided swom. declarations concerning the chilling effect of the County's unremedied UPCs. This evidence including the following summarized statements: ‘© Workers are terrified that the County will retaliate against those who engage in concerted| activities. More importantly, the bargaining units members’ faith in the collective 6 ‘Complaint for Injunctive Relief bargaining process and in their MMBA-rights erodes with the County’s every unlawful act.

[Josie Mooney, Assistant to President of SEIU, (White Decl. Exh. 14..] In recent months, Local 721°s members have expressed a general sense of hopelessness in the collective bargaining process. They have noticed that despite [the strike and UPCS}, the County refuses to bargain in good faith and continues to commit unfair labor practices... have noticed steady decrease in attendance at worksite meetings... many workers have indicated that they are aware that some other members were terminated. Because of these terminations, my co-workers have expressed fear that they too could be targeted by the County because of their union activity.

Members believe no institution can stop the County from breaking the law. Members at worksites outside of RUHS have heard about the terminations and are aware that the County has suffered no repercussion. Members no longer want to meet in the breakroom for fear management will identify and target them as Union supporters. [Donald Doran, Medi-Cal Eligibility Supervisor (White Decl.

I know the Union is trying to get their jobs back but so far nothing has happened.

[Johnny Ortega, Correctional Food Services Supervisor, job steward (White Decl. Exh. 7,).] Members have told me they believe filing a UPC against the County for recent treatment is useless. In addition, whenever the idea of a future strike comes up in conversations with other members, some of them express fear...they have pointed out that nurses who participated in the last strike were fired for doing so and they do not want to suffer the same fate... Members are reluctant to meet and more and more are expressing disaffection, with the entire collective bargaining process and the feeling that they are powerless in the| face of the County's unfair labor practices. [Mark Slaughter, LVN II (White Decl. Exh, 10,).] Thave personally observed a demoralizing decrease in attendance at Local 721’s general meetings... The fact that there has been a lack of progress on {SEIU’s] non-frivolous UPCs before PERB has convinced many of them that the County is becoming even less afraid of committing unfair labor practices....On or about February 26, 2018, I attended a] rally outside (RUHS]. Based on my past observation of rallies at this site, I was expecting to see at least 50 members... counted only about ten members in attendance.....Several members reported to me that they did not attend the rally because they leamed that the County had fired a nurse who participated in the strike. [Camille Sohm, Victim Service Advocate, member of SEIU’s Executive Board (White Decl.

Iam now concemed that the County can punish my colleagues and me... and no one will hold the County accountable. [Regina Hamilton, Administrative Service Assistant (White Decl. Exh. 19.).] ‘© My colleagues and I have heard that the County fired nurses in retaliation for participating in union activities. Though my colleagues and I did not work with these nurses...we understood that the County was sending a clear message that it will punish anyone who speaks up. In the light of the nurses firing, I have heard from several colleagues at my worksite that they feel that if they support the union and take part in union activities, the County will retaliate against them in some way. [Retha Smith, Senior Development Specialist (White Decl. Exh. 20.).] Allegation Concerning Unlawful Implementation of the County’s LBFO 23. Additionally, in its latest charge, SEIU alleges that the County is taking conerete actions in preparation to impose its LBFO. As noted above, the County's Board of Supervisors received the recommendation of the County’s chief negotiator to implement the LBFO and could vote to do so as early as May 22, 2018, if not sooner. According to SEIU, the County’s history of bad faith bargaining conduct, coupled withthe retaliatory terminations of striking employees, precludes the possibility of good faith impasse. SEIU contends that these unremedied UPCs have had a chilling effect on the bargaining unit and are causing the kind of disaffection that prevents employees from engaging in collective bargaining and other protected activities for their mutual aid and protection. On this evidence, SEIU contends that the County has no right to impose its LBFO or any other changes to existing terms and conditions of employment. 24. On May 4, 2018, the County filed its response to Case No. LA-CE-1306-M and SEIU’s request for injunctive relief. PERB investigated the matter and, on May 8, 2018, sued the underlying administrative complaint in this case. On May 10, 2018, PERB notified the parties that it had approved SEIU’s request for injunctive relief.

Code Regs. § 32450 et seq.) 25. _ PERB incorporates all preceding paragraphs as though fully set forth herein. 26. By this Complaint and Petition, PERB contends that, beginning in October 2017 and continuing, the County has taken various actions in violation of the MMBA and that this Court should immediately direct the County to restore and maintain the status quo that existed before the County committed these violations of the MMBA, and enjoin and restrain the County and order from engaging in this unlawful conduct under the standards established in Public Employment Relations Board v. Modesto County Schools District (1982) 136 Cal.App.34 881. 27. Under the Modesto standards, the Board has determined that there is reasonable cause to believe the County has committed numerous unfair labor practices, based on sworn allegations and evidence in SEIU Local 721’s UPC indicating that the County’s conduet— including coercively interrogating employees; firing employees for engaging in strike activities; refusing to bargain in good faith; and moving to implement its LBFO—violates numerous provisions of the MMBA (§§ 3502, 3503, 3505, 3506, 3506.5(a) - (c), 3507(c), 3509(b)), and PERB Regulation 32603(a), (b), (c), (d), and (g).) 28. Under the Modesto standards, the Board has further determined that injunctive relief is just and proper because, absent such relief to restore and maintain the status quo ante with respect to the County’s collective bargaining relationship with Real Party in Interest SEIU Local 721 as and to the same extent it existed before it engaged in these unfair practices, the objectives of the MMBA will be frustrated, the efficacy of any final order issued by the Board will be nullified, and PERB’s administrative proceedings will be impeded.
