Calif Senate backs bid to curb farm labor board power
In Sacramento Senate backers move to strip authority from the Agricultural Labor Relations Board, seeking funds to revive the agency but facing a two thirds vote hurdle. The Alquist amendment would transfer election and unfair labor practice probes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, a plan supporters say would curb bias. Opponents warn it would cripple the farm labor law and concentrate power with an untrained body.
