      Overview

      The Phoenix Employment Relations Board (PERB) is a City of Phoenix agency established, in part, to adjudicate unfair employee relations practice for rank-and-file City employees. PERB was created in accordance with the Phoenix City Code.

      PERB consists of five impartial members. None of the members is an agent, employee, or staff member of the City of Phoenix or any City of Phoenix organization.
