Regents of University of California v. Public Employment Relations Board

Opinion

SMITH, J.

In this original writ proceeding brought by the Regents of the University of California (hereafter, University), we review an order of the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB or Board) finding that the University commits an unlawful labor practice by refusing to deliver mail through its internal mail system for real parties in interest, which are several locals of University Council, AFT, a labor union (collectively referred to here as the Union). We will conclude that the finding is not supported by substantial evidence and that the decision must be set aside.
