    Key Takeaways

    • Requires state labor agencies to collaborate on handling agricultural worker complaints.
    • Mandates agencies to forward complaints to the appropriate division for investigation.
    • Establishes a streamlined process for agricultural workers to file workplace grievances.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Arambula's proposal to enhance California's agricultural labor complaint system would require three state entities - the Agricultural Labor Relations Board, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and Division of Occupational Safety and Health - to coordinate their handling of agricultural worker complaints. Under the measure, these agencies must collaborate to ensure complaints are properly routed to the appropriate division for investigation and processing.

    The bill establishes specific definitions to guide implementation, identifying agricultural employees according to existing Labor Code criteria and designating the three named divisions as appropriate entities for complaint resolution. This framework builds upon the current system where each agency independently manages complaints within its jurisdiction.
