Under the California Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA), a collective bargaining unit is a group of job positions/job titles with a sufficient community of interest that a union can reasonably represent the employees in the unit - particularly the negotiation of the employees' terms and conditions of employment.
There are currently 12 unions representing approximately 157,000 state employees in 21 bargaining units (see chart). Each unit separately negotiates contracts called memoranda of understanding (MOU) with the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA)--the Governor's collective bargaining representative.
