The Duty to Meet and Confer in Good Faith

​

The duty to meet and confer in good faith creates a mutual obligation to meet and confer on request by either party and to endeavor to reach agreement on matters within the scope of representation before any changes are implemented.

​

Government Code section 3505 states:

The governing body of a public agency ... or other representatives as may be properly designated ... shall meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of such recognized employee organizations ... and shall consider fully such presentations as are made on behalf of its members prior to arriving at a determination of policy or course of action.

Thus, both labor and management are required to maintain the status quo on mandatory subjects of bargaining until the parties reach agreement or impasse. San Joaquin County Employees Ass., Inc. v. City of Stockton (1984) 161 Cal. App. 3d 813, 818-819.
