Existing law generally grants state employees the right to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation on all matters of employer-employee relations. Existing law prescribes procedures in this regard for different public employers and occupational classifications, both state and local. This bill would require an organization that provides representation to public employees in labor negotiations with a state or local public employer to hold an election every 2 years to determine if the current organization should continue to represent its members. This bill would grant members the right during that election to affirmatively select another public employee organization to represent them. The bill would require the organization holding the election to forward to all of its members one email from each organization running against the organization in that election, as specified. The bill would also require the organization to forward to all of its members one email from each candidate running in any election of an officer of the organization.
