Education Employment Relations Act (EERA)

The Education Employment Relations Act (EERA) is a California law that governs the relationship between school employees and their employers, typically school districts. It outlines the rights of educators to organize, negotiate contracts, and address grievances. The act establishes a framework for collective bargaining, ensuring that teachers and classified staff can negotiate salaries, working conditions, and benefits. EERA also aims to promote fair labor practices within the education system, fostering a collaborative environment between employees and administrators for the benefit of students and schools.
