CaliforniaBoard must notify CSU negotiators when deals needing legislative action lack full funding or required action
The signed law directs the state labor board to tell CSU and employee negotiators in writing when a deal needs legislative action but lacks full funding or other required action.
What it does
For CSU labor deals needing legislative action, the state labor board must notify both sides in writing if the Legislature or Governor fails to fully fund the deal or take required action.
Argument forA written decision could help CSU and employee negotiators see whether a deal needing legislative action fell short of full funding or required action.
Argument againstWaiting for the board's written decision could slow further talks on CSU deals needing legislative action when full funding or required action falls short.
More detail
The state labor board must decide whether a deal needs legislative action and whether funding or required action fell short, then notify both sides in writing. This covers CSU labor deals with groups representing its employees. The Legislature or Governor must fail to fully fund the deal or take required action. Existing rules return the whole deal for more talks unless both sides agree that parts outside the budget and needing no funding take effect.
