§ 3614 Governor Strike Injunction Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •If workers go on strike or bosses lock them out, the Governor can ask a court to stop it for 60 days.
  • •The court will stop the strike or lockout if it could mess up public transportation or hurt people’s health or safety.
  • •This only happens if a special group investigates and tells the Governor about the problem.

Example

Bus drivers in a big city go on strike, and suddenly, no buses are running.

If the strike means kids can’t get to school, people can’t get to hospitals, or roads get dangerous because everyone is driving, the Governor can ask a court to make the bus drivers go back to work for 60 days.

§ 3614 Governor Strike Injunction Authority

Upon receiving a report from a board of investigation, the Governor may request the Attorney General to, and he or she shall, petition any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin the strike or lockout or the continuing thereof, for a period of 60 days. The court shall issue an order enjoining the strike or lockout, or the continuation thereof, if the court finds that the threatened or actual strike or lockout, if permitted to occur or continue, will significantly disrupt public transportation services and endanger the public’s health, safety, or welfare. (Added by Stats. 2012, Ch. 46, Sec. 11. (SB 1038) Effective June 27, 2012.)
