Summary

Existing law, known as the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act, contains provisions relating to employer-employee relations between the state and the employees of state institutions of higher education, including the University of California and the California State University, as well as the Hastings College of the Law. These provisions assign major responsibilities for implementation to the Public Employment Relations Board. The Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act provides specified rights, provisions, and definitions for supervisory employees, as defined, of the University of California and the Hastings College of the Law, and excludes those employees from the general provisions of the act. This bill would provide that the general provisions of the act apply, instead of the specified rights, provisions, and definitions for supervisory employees, to supervisory employees who are employed as sworn peace officers by the University of California or the Hastings College of the Law, except as specified. The bill would prohibit supervisory employees who are employed as sworn peace officers by the University of California or the Hastings College of the Law from being placed in the same collective bargaining unit as nonsupervisory employees.
