Worked Up

Forum Column - By Joseph Herman, Peter K. Stris and Jason H. Wilson - On Jan. 1, 2003, SB1156 and AB2596 will take effect. These bills create and modify Section 1164 of California's landmark 1975 Agricultural Labor Relations Act. They are a radical departure from every other state or federal law regulating private-sector labor relations in the United States, all of which are premised on private decision making as to the terms and conditions of employment.
