We represent labor unions as a whole and also individual union members in all matters within PERB’s, Public Employee Relations Board, or NLRB’s jurisdiction. The Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) is the State agency responsible for enforcing the collective bargaining laws covering employees of public schools and community colleges (Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA) Government Code section 3540 et seq.); State civil service (Ralph C.
