BILL NUMBER:  AB 1550
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1550 without my signature.

This bill amends impasse procedures in the Educational Employment
Relations Act to require an employer to give an employee
representative written notice at least 30 days prior to implementing
the terms of a Last, Best, and Final Offer, to ensure good faith
bargaining.

Under current law employers are required to bargain in good faith and
nothing has been shown to suggest that existing remedies are
inadequate. The record shows that the Public Employment Relations
Board has been extremely vigilant in taking action to curb bad faith
bargaining.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
