collective bargaining rights toCalifomIia farm wrorkers- aCalifornia AFL-CIO goal fordecades-may be ready forGovernor B rown's signaturewitfin tiae next 10 days.

Breakthirough action on thelong - sought legislation camelate Monday when -GovernorBrown announced acceptanceof changes to the bills (SB813-Dunlap and AB 1533-Ber-man) that recognize thie-tradi-tional jrsdictions of the pack-inghouse workers and the build-ing trades unions.The breakthrough followed a

weekend settlement conferenceinvolving John F. Henning, ex-ecutive secretary-teasurer ofthe Calfona Labor Federa-tion, AFL-CIO; Cesar Chavez,director of the Uniited Far.mWorkers Union; James Lee,president of the State Buildigand Construction Trades Coun-cil of California, and JerryBreshears, executive secrtary-treasurer of the Fresh Fruitand Vegetable-Workers, an af-filiate of thie AmaalgamatedMeat Cutters and Bu tacherWorkmen's Union, at whMeh ef-

forts were pursued to make thebill acceptable to all Federa-tion affiliates.Henning praised Chavez, Lee

and Breshears for their coop-eration in resolving the jurs-dictional problems at issue inthe legislation.The Governor also accepted

an amendment sought by the

Teamsters Union wh'ich pro-vides thaft existing Teamster-grower contracts wo ul1d bevoidable only- if the workerschoose another union or if theyvote to have no union represent-them.

Ttae Executive Council of theCaliforna Labor Federationhad voted earlier this month to

continue negotiations to wirrecogntion of thie traditionalcraft jurisdictionls but had alsovoted thait, if all such effortsfailed, the Federation wouldoppose the unamended bills.Last week Assembly Speaker

Ieo T. -McCarthly (D-San Fran-cisco.) suggested that suchamendments were needed to-avoid furthier "bitter farm la-bor warfare."Subsequently, opposition to

the Governor's bills,. which hadpreviously won the bacldng ofboth" the -growers and UFW,mounted.To expedite implementation

of the measure, the Governorcalled a- special session of theleg'islature on farm labor legis-_lation. This vkill permt thiemeasure to be enacted as anurgency statute and to be'comeoperative 90 days after it issigned by thie Governor.

It is constitutional for -a pub-lic corporation -to enter into aunion contract which requiresthe employees of a public cor-poration to-join the union as acondition of permanent em-ployment, according to anopinion issued Monday by. theState Attorney Geneal's Office.The oD'inion was issued in

respDnse to. an inqliiry, fromState Senator Alan Robbins (D-Los Angeles) conr.-erning a un-ion shot) agreement betweenthe Southemn Cali'omnia- RapidTransit District and thie UnitedTransportation Union'.Under thie provisions o' thie

California Public Utilities code,the opinion noted, public em-ployers may establish a, systemof collective. bargaining "com-parable to that existino be-.tween a pr'ivately owned public

utility and its employees."Noting that "the courts of

this state have upheld 04e un-ion shop as a valid objectiveof organized. labor," the opin-ion said "that when a publicagency acts as an employer itis functioning in a proprietarycapacity and, absent specificlegislation to the contrary, theemployer - employree .relation-ship cannot be treated differ-ently than' it is in the privatesphere."

In, conclusion, the -opini'o'n,prepared by Deputy Attorney,General Anthony S. DaVigo,said that the union shop agree-ment between thie district andthie union where the acceptanceof employment carries with itthe simultaneous condition of.union membership i-s constitu-tiona.

practice insurance premiums isonly one part of the cost to con-sumers, the Council said thatfear of suits causes doctors topractice defensve m e di c i neand provide extra services notnormally requied."EMs involves a cost of from

$6 to $8 billion over and abovethe premiuim payments to in-surance companies," the COUn-cil said.Earlier this year thie Argo-

ASSE I LY ELLSAB 1769-Hart (Rn., 11., & Com.)--Existing law contains no specific

authorization for a county or a p6blik agency for which the boardof supervisors acts as a governi-ng board, which is wholly or partiallyself-insured under the workers' com6pensation laws, or wholly or par-

tially self-insured against public liability, to contract for invesfiga-tive, administrative, and claigns adjustment services relating to work-ers' compensation and public liability claims.

This bill would authorize such contracts, under specified termrs andconditions, as well as authorizing the board, of supervisors to author-ize the county's auditor or auditor-controller to provide any or all

of such services in addition to, or in lieu of sucA a contract.This bill would take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

AB 1770-Hart (Ed.)-An existing statute authorizeslgoverning boardsof school districts to hold executive sessions to c6gftider the expul-sion, suspension, or discipline of a pupil, unless the pupil or hisparent or guardian makes a written request for a public hearing.This bill would: .(.1) change such authorization to a requirerent:(2) remove from such requirement, expulsions; and (3) require,in public meeting hold pursuant to such requests, that any discussionwhich might conflict with the right of privacy if any other pupil, bein executive session.

Existing statutes do not address themselves to the powers of gov-

erning boards of school districts to suspend th6e,nforcement ofexpulsions of pupils. This bill would add provision's' 6uhorizing anygoverning board which has voted to expel a pupil, to suspend en-forcement of such expulsion, for a specified perio8&.upon conditionof attendance in specified rehabilitation schools,. classes, or pro-grams, which would qualify for state appportionMents based on a.d.a.and, upon conclusion of such period, eifher to reinstate such pupil,with possible expungement of the expulsion record, or to enforcethe expulsion.

This bill would also add provisions requiring each governing boardto adopt rules prescribing expulsion procedures, including writtennotices, various types of hearinqs, record-keeping, and evidentiarymatters.An existing brief statute provides for procedures for appeals from

expulsion decisions of governing boards to county boards of educa-tion. This bill would: revise and expand such procedures, in detail.More specifically, this bill would add provisions which would requirecounty boards of education to adopt related regulations prescribingappeal procedures, including appeal notices, hearing dates, certifi-cation of record of governing board proceedings, hearing proce-dures, and record preservation; provide for related executive ses-sions unless the pupil or the parent or guardian makes a writtenrequest for a public hearing; prescribe basis upon which suchappeals could be determined; and prescribe specified limits uponthe decisions of the county board. This bill would also make relatedchanges.

This bill would- also appropriate an unspecified amount to the

State Controller for allocation and disbursements to local agenciesfor costs incurred by them pursuant to this act. April 15.

AS 177 -Sie'ler (Rev. & lax.)-Existing Personal Income Tax Lawexcludes compensation received by indwviduals for their services on

active duty in the armed forces and pensions and retirement payreceived by an individual for his services in the armed forces. Suchexclusion is limited to an amount not to exceed $1,000.

This bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to annually re-

compute the maximum limit of such exclusions from income andadjust the' maximum exclusion according to the inflation adjustmentfactor, as defined, commencing with the computation of taxes fortaxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1975.

This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy. April 15.

AB 1781-Z'b.rg (P.E. & Ret.)-Existing law contains provisions re-lating to employer-employee relations within the various local publicagencies in the State of California, which presently provide th.tVlocal public employees have a right to form, join -and particip-atein the activities of employee organizations for the purpose of repre-

sentation on all matters of employer-employee relations. The chosenemployee organization has a right to represent its members and -thescope of such representation includes wages, hours, a-nd other terms

and conditions of employment. Representatives of the public em-

ployer are required in this connection to meet and confer in goodfaith and endeavor to reach agreement with the emnployee orgo-nization, and, if agreement is reached, to prepare a nonbinding mem-orandum of understanding and present it to the governing body ofthe public employer for determinafion. A local public agency is

authorized to adopt reasonable rules end regulations for the admin-istration of such provisions.

Existing law also includes separate provisions relating to employer-employee relations between the State of California and its employ-oes, which presently provide that state employees have the riglt toform, join and participate in the activities of employee organiza-tions for the purpose of representation on all matters of employer-employee relations. The chosen employee organization has a rightto represent its members in all naatters relating to employer-esm--ployee relations, including grievances, with the state. Representa-tives of the state are required to meet and confer with representa-tives of employee organizations upon request to full-y consider pres-

entations made on behalf of their members.This bill would repeal the provisions of existing law sepatately

providing for public employer-employee relations of state employees,and would place state employees, specifically including employeesof the University of California and the California State Ulniversityand Colleges, within the 'coverage of the prisions regarding publicemployer-emnployee relations for local public agencies.

AS 1794-Boetwuight (Fin., Ins, & Com.)-Under existing law theterm "employment" for' purposes of the Unemployment Compensa-tion Law does not include certain specified occupations for purposesof unemployment compensation.

This bill would specifically exclude certain certified shorthandreporters and certain transcribers whose remuneration is basedsolely on commission from the term "employment" for purposes ofsuch law. April IS. Unemployment Insurance-Bad

AB 1795--Egeland (Health)-The retail food production and market-ing establishments law is inapplicable to roadside stands, food estab-lishments open to the outside air, or retail dairies, in which thereis displayed for sale only produce, shell eggs, or packaged foods,or two or more of such products, except that the State Departmentof Health is required to adopt rules and regulations for such estab-lishments, including requirements for issuance of permits by localhealth departments to such establishments.

This bill would make vehicles vending food or produce to retailconsumers subject to the same requirements.
