Effective July 1, 2013, pursuant to the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012, the Public Employment Relations Board is moving to this Agency (Labor and Workforce Development). The Public Employment Relations Board was previously budgeted within General Government under Organization Code 8320.

The Public Employment Relations Board administers and enforces California public sector collective bargaining laws in an expert, fair, and consistent manner; promotes improved public sector employer-employee relations; and provides a timely and cost effective method through which employers, employee organizations, and employees can resolve their labor relations disputes.
