By William Gould IV, Special to CalMatters<\/h3>

<\/h5>

William B. Gould IV is professor emeritus of Stanford Law School and former chairman of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board and the National Labor Relations Board, wbgould@stanford.edu.<\/em><\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assembly Bill 616<\/a> is misleadingly being portrayed as merely a way to shift farmworker union elections to mail-in ballots.\u00a0In reality, the bill could deprive California farmworkers of many of their existing rights in choosing whether to form or join a union, including the secret ballot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legislature or the Agricultural Labor Relations Board<\/a> should provide for genuine mail-in balloting in farmworker union elections in a way that maintains the current protections for farmworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the law is badly broken today, California once led the nation in providing for the rights of farmworkers to join unions and engage in collective bargaining when it passed the Agricultural Labor Relations Act in 1975<\/a> \u2014 and thereby addressed the federal government\u2019s failure to include farmworkers under the National Labor Relations Act<\/a> of 1935.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the California act, farmworkers vote whether to join a labor union through a traditional election process overseen by the state board, with a secret ballot to protect employee free choice. Except where there is employer misconduct, which would warrant reliance upon another mechanism, this should remain the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AB 616 would eliminate that process and replace it with a \u201ccard check\u201d process that, when mandated by the government (as opposed to voluntary negotiations), removes important democratic protections for farmworkers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under AB 616, union organizers will be able to unionize farmworkers using signed postcards without a subsequent election overseen by the Agricultural Labor Relations Board.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AB 616 allows union organizers to choose which farmworkers get postcards and which don\u2019t, effectively deciding who gets to vote and who doesn\u2019t, possibly disenfranchising many farmworkers. Union elections should reflect the same bedrock principle captured by the Voting Rights Act: Workers should get to pick who represents them, not the other way around.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, AB 616 allows union organizers to fill out and submit the postcards for the farmworkers, only requiring farmworkers to sign their name.\u00a0The same union organizers could be the sole witness to a farmworker\u2019s signature, without any other independent verification required.\u00a0 The net result of these provisions is not just to eliminate secrecy in how farmworkers are voting, but to eliminate the elections.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no secret ballot because private parties can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) select which farmworkers \u201cvote\u201d in the first place,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) fill out much of the postcard for the worker and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c) are the sole witness to the farmworker’s signature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An increasing number of states properly recognize mail-in or postal ballots as democratic and particularly vital in the pandemic era of social distancing. But those ballots should be devised, distributed and, if necessary, augmented through appropriate means by the state of California, not private parties as provided for in AB 616.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Agricultural Labor Relations Board is the appropriate neutral party to handle this responsibility \u2014 not private partisans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, the Legislature should enact or the labor board should promulgate rules providing for genuine mail-in balloting where workers can express their views freely and privately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the governor should convene unions, growers and other interested parties to explore ways through which workers who put food on our tables may know more about the law of collective bargaining so as to achieve dignity, fair wages and job security, and share in California\u2019s bounty. That would be infinitely preferable to the badly flawed AB 616.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
