Governor Seeks Repeal Of Two Labor Bills As Part Of Budget By Associated Press - July 13, 2004
As part of his effort to get Republican support for his the proposed budget, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants Democrats to support the repeal of two labor laws.
Supporters say it is needed because the state regulators are chronically understaffed and many violations go uncorrected.
But opponents argue the law also allows suits to move forward over minor violations of the state's lengthy labor code, such as breaking rules on displaying posters about workplace rights and the posting of current elevator permits.
The other is SB 1419 by Sen. Richard Alarcon, D-Los Angeles, was approved by the Legislature and signed by Davis in 2002. The law requires school contracts for landscaping, busing and other services to protect workers' wages and salary.
Supporters say the law provides needed protection to prevent jobs being privatized unless savings can be documented.
Opponents say repealing it could save schools as much as $500 million a year, if districts were allowed to sign contracts for busing, maintenance, landscaping and other services.
