California Agricultural Labor Relations Act

The California Agricultural Labor Relations Act (ALRA), enacted in 1975, governs labor relations for agricultural workers in California. It grants farmworkers the right to organize, join unions, and engage in collective bargaining for better wages and working conditions. The Act established the Agricultural Labor Relations Board (ALRB) to oversee elections, investigate unfair labor practices, and ensure workers' rights are protected. It aims to balance the interests of workers and employers while promoting fair treatment and improving labor relations in the agricultural sector.
