Bill > AB969

This bill enacts the Legislature Employer-Employee Relations Act, which provides employees of the California Legislature, including some supervisory and managerial employees, the right to form, join, and participate in employee organizations for the purpose of representation on employment matters. The bill prescribes rights, duties, and prohibitions that parallel those in the existing Ralph C. Dills Act, which governs collective bargaining between the state and recognized public employee organizations. The bill prohibits the Public Employment Relations Board from including legislative employees in bargaining units that include non-legislative employees, and makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to interfere with the Board's duties. The bill also includes provisions related to the meet and confer process, mediation, and the scope of representation.
