CALPELRA Alert/PERB:  Strike Vote, Strike Preparations,
And Impasse Preparation
Introduction

In another major decision, PERB rejected Sweetwater Union High School District’s request to enjoin a teachers union’s strike threats and strike preparations while the parties were still engaged in the established impasse procedures.[i] In this decision (“Sweetwater”), PERB clarified whether pre-impasse strike votes and strike preparations are unlawful and therefore subject to being enjoined.
