§ 103403 Labor Organization Contracting Prohibition

Public Utilities Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says the district can’t make deals with labor groups that bar people from joining because of protected reasons, and it can’t treat workers unfairly for those same reasons.

Key Takeaways

•No contracts with labor groups that deny membership for protected reasons.
•The district must not discriminate in hiring, firing, or other employment actions for those protected reasons.
•A labor group can still keep out anyone who supports violently overthrowing the government.

Example

A school district wants to work with a teachers' union that only lets members who are of a certain race join.

Because the union excludes people based on a protected reason, the district is not allowed to sign a contract with that union, and it also can’t fire or refuse to hire teachers for that same reason.
