Alerts
These "Alerts" each summarize a significant recent court case, arbitration decision,
pending legislation, or other important information. The Alert format is not intended as a periodic
review of all significant cases, but instead provides labor relations practitioners with key
information for immediate guidance in day-to-day activities.
Alerts are one benefit of a
CALPELRA membership. Members receive Alerts via e-mail two-weeks before the Alerts are
posted on the site. If you are a CALPELRA member and you are not receiving these e-mail Alerts
but would like to, please update your
