BILL NUMBER: SB 765
VETOED DATE: 08/19/2013
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 765 without my signature.
Allowing school police officer supervisors to join rank and file
bargaining units creates opportunity for conflict of interest between
supervisors and employees. It could tie supervisors' hands in the
implementation and enforcement of policies with which the employee
organization (of which they are now a part of) disagrees.
Further, I am concerned about future expansion of this policy and the
potential for unintended consequences on labor and management
relations within the state's workforce.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
