The Public Employees Relations Board (PERB)
Mission
The mission of the Public Employees Relations Board is to administer the provisions of the State's local governmental collective bargaining laws that are applicable to certain permanent members of any paid municipal police or fire department under 11 O.S. § 51-101 et seq., certain municipal employees under 11 O.S. § 51-201 et seq. and certain permanent full-time firefighter members of any rural fire protection district under 19 O.S. § 901.30 et seq. In administering these provisions, the PERB strives to provide a neutral forum in which to decide unfair labor or prohibited practice charges, conduct valid elections to determine appropriate bargaining units, and in which to promulgate such rules as it deems necessary to carry out its duties under applicable law.
