INTRODUCTION
In this article, the authors explore three hot topics: the duty to bargain during an emergency, potential legislation giving PERB new remedial authority, and the advent of Bargaining for the Common Good. Each section is prefaced with an introduction followed by either Ms. Steele providing the Labor Advocate’s viewpoint or Mr. Yeung providing the Management Advocate’s viewpoint, and then a counter viewpoint.
