Supreme Court of California
County of LA v. LA County Employee Relations Commission (Service Employees International Union), S191944
READ
The Court of Appeal's conclusion that plaintiff-county's non-union member employees were entitled to notice and an opportunity to opt out before their home addresses and telephone numbers could be disclosed to SEIU the exclusive bargaining representative of all plaintiff-county's employees, is reversed, where: 1) although the plaintiff-county's employees have a cognizable privacy interest in their home addresses and telephone numbers, the balance of interests strongly favors disclosure of this information to the union that represents them; 2) procedures may be developed for employees who object to this disclosure; but 3) the Court of Appeal exceeded its authority in this administrative mandate proceeding by attempting to impose specific procedures on the parties.
