Farm union bill revived to allow secret ballots shows strife
In Sacramento the bill by Assemblyman Richard Alatorre to let 287,000 farm workers vote by secret ballot on union representation advances, despite Teamsters opposition. The measure would permit consumer boycotts and walkouts to seek contracts but excludes a harvest‑time strike ban. Gov elect Brown backed the idea. AFL-CIO support cited. Teamsters oppose provisions for elections where a contract exists.

Truth in lending decision ties cash price to finance charges
In San Francisco the California Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Truth in Lending Act applies to cash price consumer contracts with four or more payments sold at a discount to a finance company. The case by Linda L. Glaire against La Lanne Health Spas and Universal Guardian Acceptance Corp. centered on a seven year membership and a 4744 percent discount leading to a $408 cash or $498 financed cost, with the court upholding disclosure of the finance charge and challenging the alleged excess interest in the contract appearing as a loan. The suit was dismissed in trial court and appealed.
