Department of Personnel Administration v. California Correctional Peace Officers Assn

In Department of Personnel Administration v. California Correctional Peace Officers Assn. (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 1193, the court reviewed and vacated an arbitration award reforming a memorandum of understanding between a state agency and public employee union. The Legislature had already approved the terms of the memorandum prior to the arbitration. The arbitrator's award changing those terms violated the public policy of legislative oversight of state employee contracts. (Id. at pp. 1195, 1203.)
