BILL NUMBER:  SB 1071
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1071 without my signature.

This bill provides state excluded supervisory employees in a
workplace that operates two or more work shifts per day the right to
obtain work shifts based on seniority and would limit shift selection
to 60% of the positions within the same classification scheduled for
a shift.

This bill is unnecessary. Several departments that operate multiple
shifts and who have deemed it to be in the best interest of the
department to provide seniority shift bidding have done so, including
one department that applies this practice to supervisory employees.
Unfortunately, this bill would circumvent that discretion. I
encourage those departments without post and bid in place for
excluded employees to meet with supervisors for further discussion.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
