Bill Summary
An act to add Section 3551.5 to the Government Code, relating to public employment.
AI Summary
This bill would authorize an employee organization to bring a claim before the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) alleging that a public employer violated the law prohibiting the deterring or discouraging of public employees from becoming or remaining union members. If PERB finds the public employer violated these provisions, the employer would be subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per affected employee, not to exceed $100,000 total, and would be liable for the employee organization's attorney's fees and costs. The bill also requires PERB to apply specific criteria when assessing the civil penalty, such as the employer's annual budget and the severity of the violation.
