BILL NUMBER:  AB 874
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 874 without my signature.

This bill allows certain Judicial Council employees to collectively
bargain under the Ralph C. Dills Act.

The state has no experience collective bargaining with employees from
the third branch of government. This bill leaves several important
questions unanswered such as how agreements will be ratified,
approved for funding and whether the Dills Act is a proper law for
employees who are constitutionally exempt from civil service. This
bill isn't ready to become law.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
