As of January 1, 2011
To the extent permitted by law, and until altered or revoked as provided by law, the district shall grant recognition to those employee organizations which served as the recognized representatives of the former county employees described in Section 100308 immediately prior to their employment by the district.
The district shall assume and observe all applicable provisions, including wages, of existing written memoranda of understanding in effect between the county and the above recognized labor organizations for those former county employees described in Section 100308 who are employed by the district in positions which would have been covered by those memoranda if the employees had remained employed by the county. This obligation extends only for the remainder of the term of the respective existing written memoranda of understanding and to the extent not superseded by a successor agreement between the district and a recognized labor organization.
(a) It is a primary purpose of this article to promote the improvement of personnel management and employer-employee relations within the VTA by providing a uniform basis for recognizing the right of employees to join employee organizations of their own choice, to be represented, to select one employee organization as the exclusive representative of the employees in an appropriate unit, and to afford employees a voice at work.
(b) The Public Employment Relations Board established pursuant to Section 3541 of the Government Code, and the powers and duties of the Public Employment Relations Board as described in Section 3541.3 of the Government Code, shall have jurisdiction pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 100310 to enforce this article and the regulations of the Public Employment Relations Board shall apply to this article. The Public Employment Relations Board shall perform its duties under this section consistent with its regulations and may make additional regulations. The Public Employment Relations Board may also adopt, amend, or repeal all rules and regulations necessary to carry out this article as emergency regulations in accordance with the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code). The adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations pursuant to this subdivision is conclusively presumed to be necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or general welfare within the meaning of Section 11346.1 of the Government Code.
