Union Contract Access Rights
Summary
Non-union members working under a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in California generally have the right to access the CBA. If denied, they should submit a formal request to the union and employer. If the request is ignored, they can contact the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) for assistance. The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) primarily protects union members, but non-members may still have certain rights, such as fair representation and protection from discrimination. Union bylaws do not override LMRDA rights. If facing issues, consider reviewing union bylaws and contacting PERB for further guidance.Full Conversation
