Request For Impasse Determination-Appointment Of Mediator {PERB-1510}

PERB-1510 - REQUEST FOR IMPASSE DETERMINATION/ APPOINTMENT OF MEDIATOR. This form is used in California to formally declare an impasse in labor negotiations between an employer and an exclusive representative, such as a labor union. It is filed with the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) when collective bargaining efforts between public sector employers and employee representatives have reached a deadlock, meaning further negotiations without mediation are unlikely to be productive. This form applies to labor disputes under various California employment relations laws, including the Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA), Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA), Ralph C. Dills Act, and Judicial Council Employer-Employee Relations Act (JCEERA). The form collects information about the employer, the exclusive representative, the established bargaining unit, the number of affected employees, and the history and status of negotiations. It also requires details on unresolved issues, tentative agreements, and the efforts made by both parties to resolve disputes before declaring an impasse. Once submitted, PERB evaluates whether an impasse exists and, if so, appoints a mediator to facilitate further negotiations between the parties. If mediation fails, the dispute may proceed to fact-finding or other resolution procedures. www.FormsWorkflow.com
