Description
This two-credit course examines the labor laws that protect employees' and unions' rights to organize and bargain collectively in California's unionized public sector. Topics include California labor law history, the unionization process, protections against anti-union discrimination, dispute resolution, strikes, and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. The course explores parallels and differences between California public sector laws and the National Labor Relations Act, as well as statutory distinctions between California governmental entities. Guest speakers will discuss contemporary issues such as strikes and police reform. Labor Law (Law 447) is a prerequisite, except for students who have completed State and Local Government (Law 598). The prerequisite may be waived with instructor approval.
