California AB288 establishes the Public Employment Relations Board to handle labor disputes when the National Labor Relations Board is ineffective.

California AB288 adds provisions to the Labor Code to create the Public Employment Relations Board within the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. This board will handle labor disputes when the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is ineffective due to factors like processing delays, lack of quorum, or constitutional challenges. The Public Employment Relations Board will have exclusive jurisdiction over labor cases, prioritizing those involving active union organizing campaigns, loss of employment, retaliation for union activities, and cases pending with the NLRB for over 18 months.
