After issuing a complaint against the City of Fremont alleging 13 separate unfair labor practices last week, the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) has granted SEIU Local 1021’s request for an emergency injunction.

Now, PERB will take the City of Fremont to Alameda Superior Court to obtain an injunction from the Court which would obligate the city to cease and desist from refusing to recognize and bargain with Local 1021.

(see SEIU Local 1021 v. City of Fremont, Injunctive Relief Request No. 633, Unfair Practice Charge SF-CE-1028-M)

By granting this request for injunction against the Employer, something that rarely happens, PERB has recognized the gravity of the city of Fremont’s refusal to recognize and bargain with Local 1021, and that there is a likelihood that Local 1021 will prevail in its unfair practice charge case before the administrative law judge.

In addition to the injuction, PERB has alleged the City of Fremont:

• Refused to bargain in good faith with SEIU Local 1021
• Interfered with employee rights
• Denied SEIU Local 1021 its right to represent city employees.

City of Fremont employees have been fighting back by signing petitions demanding that
the City come to the table and negotiate for improvements to your MOU.

Tell the City to STOP the stalling and negotiate in good faith by signing our petition today!
