BILL NUMBER: AB 2419 VETOED DATE: 07/18/2014 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2419 without my signature. This bill would authorize management employees in the County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles to establish an agency shop arrangement, an arrangement that is not permissible under the labor law that governs state employees. Granting agency shop to managers, as required by this bill, goes against sound labor-management relations that should require a clear separation between managers and rank and file employees. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
