| To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 561 without my signature. This bill requires the Agricultural Labor Relation's Board to process all decision orders within one year upon finding an employer liable for benefits due to unfair labor practices. This bill also requires employers who appeal a Board order to post a bond in the amount of the entire economic value of the order. While I support the overall goal of this bill, I am concerned that the timeline proposed does not provide for unexpected delays or litigation. In most cases the Board is able to expedite final adjudication of monetary awards within 18 months. As I stated in my veto message on SB 25 last year, I believe what is needed is a balanced approach to resolving issues concerning the fair and effective enforcement of the Agricultural Labor Relations Act. As such, I am directing the Board to examine the current process and make the necessary internal reforms to provide for more timely orders. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr. |
