Capitol Farm Connection Podcast Covers Labor Bill – AB 616
In an informative podcast episode covering a challenging labor measure in the State Legislature, Emily and Tricia review AB 616 (Stone) and discuss the reasons why Ag Council opposes the bill.
AB 616 undermines the existing secret ballot process in place for ag employees when determining union representation by allowing the use of ballot cards, which are not private. In addition to removing privacy safeguards for ag employees, AB 616 threatens election integrity by significantly reducing state oversight during the process.
