MMBA Factfinding Request

MMBA FACTFINDING REQUEST. This form is used to initiate the factfinding process under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), as outlined in California Government Code section 3505.4. This process is designed to help resolve disputes between a public employer and the exclusive representative of an employee bargaining unit, particularly when the parties reach an impasse during labor negotiations. The form collects key information about the employer and exclusive representative, the nature of the bargaining unit, the type of dispute (such as an initial or successor contract), and the status of negotiations, including the date impasse was declared and whether mediation has occurred. Once submitted via the e-PERB portal along with a completed proof of service, the request formally asks the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) to convene a factfinding panel to help mediate and resolve the unresolved issues. The form must be signed by an authorized representative and includes a declaration affirming the request and details of how the form was served on all involved parties. www.FormsWorkflow.com
