AB 2682: Transportation network company drivers: labor relations: appeals.

Existing law, the Transportation Network Company Drivers Labor Relations Act (act), establishes that transportation network company (TNC) drivers have the right to form, join, and participate in the activities of TNC driver organizations, to bargain through representatives of their own choosing, to engage in concerted activities for the purpose of bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and to refrain from such activities. The act designates certain actions and inactions of TNCs, such as failure or refusal to negotiate in good faith with a certified bargaining organization, and of TNC driver organizations as unfair practices, which are subject to the Public Employment Relations Boards unfair practice procedure regulations.

This bill would authorize any charging party, respondent, or intervenor aggrieved by a final decision or order of the board in an unfair practice case to petition for a writ of extraordinary relief from such a decision or order, except as provided. The bill would set forth procedures for filing and reviewing the petition and for enforcing final decisions or orders subsequent to the expiration of the petition timeline.
