Below is excerpt from the UFW news release wrote by Edgar Sanchez
(All of the elements of Brown's proposal are embedded in SB 126, a new bill introduced by state Senate leader Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento). They include:
- Immediate certification of a union if employer election violations could have affected a unionization vote.
- An expedited process for the ALRB to certify elections. Farm workers now must wait up to two years or more after voting before they can begin negotiating a union contract with growers.
- Authority for the ALRB general counsel to go to court to reinstate farm workers who are illegally fired by employers during union election drives.
- Accelerating the process under the state's 2002 binding mediation law, allowing mediation to produce a union contract to commence after 90 days instead of 180 days of normal bargaining.)
