The MMBA governs collective bargaining for which group?

• A. Federal government agencies
• B. Local government employees including cities, counties, and special districts
• C. Private sector executives
• D. State universities and colleges.

Answer: (B)

The Meyers-Milias-Bergerson Act is the California law that governs collective bargaining for local public employees. It applies to workers employed by cities, counties, and special districts, creating the framework for recognizing bargaining representatives, defining what subjects can be bargained (such as wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment), and providing procedures like mediation and fact-finding if negotiations stall. It also generally prohibits public employees from striking. State-level public employees and private-sector workers are covered by different laws, and state universities/colleges fall under their own statutes. Thus, the MMBA specifically governs local government employees, including cities, counties, and special districts.
