Public employee relations: Los Angeles.

Existing law, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, regulates labor relations between employees and management of local public agencies. Existing law grants the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) specified powers and duties in connection with the act, including making unit determinations in disputed cases and supervising representation elections. Existing law excepts the County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles from the PERB grant of authority, providing instead that the employment relations commissions in those jurisdictions are responsible for those functions.
