I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO

AND HIS STAFF FOR PROVIDING THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE CALIFORNIA.
AS THE DIRECTOR THE OFFICE OF
TAX APPEALS.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO EXPRESS MY
APPRECIATION FOR ALL THE HARD
WORKING STAFF AT THE OFFICE OF
TAX APPEALS --
AND THEIR EFFORTS AND COMMITMENT
AND STAB WISHING A NEW OFFICE.
AND FINALLY I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE STAKEHOLDERS AND THE VARIOUS
INTERESTED PARTIES ARE TAXPAYERS
--
TAX PRACTITIONERS TAX ASSOCIATE
FOR THEIR OBSERVATIONS
SUGGESTIONS CONSTRUCTIVE
CRITICISMS FOR THE OFFICE AS IT
CONTINUES TO TAKE SHAPE.
THEY'VE BEEN INVALUABLE
PARTNERS.
JERRY MEMBERS THE CENTRAL
MISSION OF THE OFFICE OF TAX
APPEALS IS A VERY NARROW ONE AND
THAT IS SIMPLY TO PROVIDE AN
OPINION ON TAX DISPUTES.
BETWEEN CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS AND
THE STATE'S TAX AGENCIES.
IT'S LIMITED IN SCOPE BUT THE
CHARGE GIVEN TO THE OFFICE IS A
PROFOUND ONE AND THAT THIS IS
THE LAST THE OFFICER TAX APPEALS
PROVIDES THE FINAL VENUE.
AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
TAXPAYERS TO PRESENT THEIR SIDE
OF A TAX DISPUTE.
IN AUTHORIZING THE ENABLING
LEGISLATION FOR THE OFFICE THE
LEGISLATURE HAS MADE IT CLEAR
THAT THE OFFICE OF TAX APPEALS
IS TO BE AN INDEPENDENT NEUTRAL
AN EXPERT TAX APPEALS BODY.
AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME
LEGISLATION IT HAS BEEN DIRECTED
TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
TAXPAYERS REGARDLESS OF THE
LEVEL OF TAX EXPERTISE OR LEGAL
BACKGROUND.
I CONSIDERED MY OBLIGATION AND
MANDATE AS THE DIRECTOR TO
ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN
ADMINISTRATOR ENVIRONMENT THAT
THAT INSURERS THE OFFICE OF TAX
APPEALS.
PROVIDES AN APPEALS PROCESS THAT
IS IMPARTIAL THAT'S INDEPENDENT.
THAT IS TRANSPARENT.
THAT IS ACCESSIBLE AND THAT IS
FAIR.
BY INSTITUTING AND PROTECTING
ENVIRONMENT THAT INCORPORATES
THESE QUALITIES AND
CHARACTERISTICS THE OFFICE
APPEALS CAN ENSURE THAT
DECISIONS AND ACTIONS ON EVERY
TAX CASE OR MATTER BEFORE IT.
ARE BASED ON FACTS AND EVIDENCE
ANY SOUND AND UNIFORM
APPLICATION OF STATE TAX LAW.
AND THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND
THROUGH THE SERIOUS OF OPINIONS
WHICH WE WILL ISSUE ON EVERY
APPEAL.
WE WANT TO ESTABLISH AND WILL
ESTABLISH A CLEAR AND CERTAIN
INTERPRETATION OF STATE TAX LA.
THAT WILL BENEFIT TAXPAYERS
BUSINESSES INVESTORS AND
POLICYMAKERS.
AGAIN I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY BEFORE
YOU TODAY AND I AM HAPPY TO
ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE.
WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH PAUSE
LET ME START WITH MR MINING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU MISTER HI BILL FOR
YOUR SERVICE TO THE STATE AND
THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE NOW
TODAY HELPING.
TO ORGANIZE A THE THE DIVISION.
WHEN WE SPOKE YOU SHARED A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF YOUR
OUTREACH EFFORTS IN TERMS OF
[inaudible]
EDUCATION AND FOR THE PUBLIC FOR
INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES FOR ALL BUSINESSES.
WOULD YOU SHARE WITH THE
COMMITTEE SOME OF THOSE EFFORTS
AND WITH AN EYE TOWARDS.
ANY PARTICULAR --
ATTENTION TO LANGUAGE COME
[inaudible]
INTERPRETATION TRANSLATION.
THANK YOU CLEARLY SENATOR WE
HAVE CURRENTLY --
FOR PUBLICATIONS FOR THE BENEFIT
OF TAXPAYERS ALL THOSE ARE OR
WILL BE VERY SOON POSTED ON A
WEBSITE.
THE INITIAL PUBLICATION IS JUST
SORT OF A GENERAL OVERVIEW THE
OFFICE AND THAT'S BEEN
TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH AND
CHINESE.
ANNA AND TAGALOG OF THE OTHERS
WILL BE A GUIDE TO THE APPEAL
AND A GUIDE TO THE HEARING THAT
IS ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON ON THE
WEBSITE AND OUR FAQS.
ARE MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE THAN
HEY HAD BEEN EARLIER THERE'S
PROBABLY FIFTY SOME QUESTIONS
THAT WALKED TAXPAYERS THROUGH
THAT.
WE HAVE CONDUCTED --
MOVEMENT OF QUITE A BIT OF OT
REACH SINCE DECEMBER --
THROUGH OUR CHIEF COUNSEL MYSELF
OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL
PRIMARILY WITH TAX PRACTITIONERS
WITH -- BAR
ASSOCIATION WITH TAX --
TAX GROUPS OF WE'VE DONE
WEBINARS WOULD PROBABLY DONE
BETWEEN TWENTY AND TWENTY FIVE
SORT OF OF THESE EVENTS.
WE ARE --
WE'RE CONVENING I IN ABOUT TWO
WEEKS A A WORKING GROUP OF
STAKEHOLDERS --
INCLUDING LEGISLATIVE STAFF TO
SORT OF DESIGN A PROCESS WHERE
WE CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN
REACHING SMALL BUSINESS AND
INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS.
WE'RE NOT LIKE THE TAX AGENCY IS
BECAUSE WE DON'T INTERFACE WITH
MOST TAXPAYERS THEY ONLY COME TO
S. UPON APPEAL.
SO IT'S IT'S A IT'S A DIFFICULT
PROCESS I THINK THE WEB IS
PROBABLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE ONE
WE'VE ALSO REACH OUR AGREEMENT
ARE CLOSE TO REACHING AN
AGREEMENT WITH --
THE TAX AGENCY'S CTF ES AND
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD TO PROVIDE
AN APPEALS FORM ALONG WITH THE
FINAL DETERMINATION FROM THAT
TAX AGENCY.
SO THE TAXPAYERS ARE FULLY AWARE
OF WHAT THEIR NEXT STEP MIGHT
BE.
THANK YOU AND THEN I KNOW A I
THINK INHERITED SOMETHING OF A
BACKLOG OF APPEALS ON WHAT'S
STATUS WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO
TRY.
TO REDUCE THAT BACKLOG THE
STATUS OF BACKLOG THESE WERE
CASES WHERE THE INITIAL --
RESPONSE TO THE TAXPAYER AFTER
THEY CONTACTED AT THAT POINT WAS
CONTACTING --
CTF A OR B. WE FOR THE APPEAL I
THINK BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION
THERE WERE --
NUMBER OF CASE IT'S IT SIMPLY
DID NOT GO ACKNOWLEDGE WE HAVE
WORKED THROUGH THAT BACKLOG AND
ALL TOSE CASES HAVE BEEN
ACKNOWLEDGED AND THEY ARE NOW
INCORPORATED OUR IN OUR SYSTEM
WE ARE TRACKING.
SO THEY IT DOES HAVE BEEN THAT
HAS BEEN DEALT WITH --
THROUGH A LOT OF EFFORTS A LOT
OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT AT OTA.
SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY HERE.
YEAR YOU'RE CAUGHT UP WITH THE
BAND WE ARCATA YES THANK YOU
LENT MY FINAL QUESTION YOU
SHARED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
EFFORTS.
TO DEVELOP THE LOS ANGELES
OFFICE CAN YOU PROVIDE AN UPDATE
ON THAT.
WE ARE --
IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A
FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE --
LOS ANGELES MARKET IS VERY TOUGH
WHEN WE HAVE TEMPORARY
FACILITIES IN DOWNTOWN LOS
ANGELES --
AND WERE VIDAK CLOSE --
TO GETTING PERMANENT SPACE --
I BELIEVE ONE OF THE POTENTIAL
SITES IS [inaudible]
READERS IS A LITTLE MORE
CONVENIENT FOR TAXPAYERS TO GET
--
TO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT SPACE
YET BUT WE'RE CONTINUING. TO
PURSUE THAT YOU HAVE A TIMETABLE
FOR THAT --
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL TIMETABLES
UNFORTUNATELY --
I'M HOPING THAT WE GET A
COMMITMENT FROM --
DG GAS IN TERMS OF THE SITE
ITSELF WITHIN TWO TO THREE
WEEKS.
AND CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THAT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU MISTER CANNELLA
[inaudible]
WELL.
YES THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR BUT
JUST A FEW QUESTIONS HERE SO.
THE KEY MISSION FOR A TEASE TO
HEAR TAX APPEAL CASES IN A
TIMELY MANNER.
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF
TIMELY AND HOW ARE YOU
SUCCESSFULLY MEETING YOUR TIME
WISELY HERE TAX APPEAL CASES --
BUT THE TIMELINESS IS A AS OUR I
THINK A CONCERNED HOW IN ITS
CONCERN FOR THE TAXPAYERS AND
THE TAX AGENCIES WE WANT TO BE
ABLE TO PURSUE CASES.
AND INVESTIGATE THE CASES AND
REACH A LOT OF A CONCLUSION --
WE IF IF YOU TOOK A CASE THAT
WENT THROUGH THE STANDARD
PROCESS INCLUDING AN ORAL
HEARING.
IT TAKES ABOUT --
EIGHT TO NINE MONTHS BY THE TIME
IT COMES TO OTA.
WE DON'T --
THE ALE JAY'S DO NOT ISSUE A AN
OPINION ON THE CASE ON THE SPOT.
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO
COME BACK AND INCORPORATE WHAT
WAS SAID OVER HER AND ALONG WITH
THE EXISTING EVIDENCE.
I'M I THINK IN MANY CASES ARE IF
THE TAXPAYER DECIDES NOT TO HAVE
AN ORAL HEARING --
AND IF THE BRIEFING PROCESS IS
CURTAILED --
IT CAN BE MUCH LESS THAN THAT --
I THINK --
WE DON'T HAVE STATISTICS ON THE
LENGTH OF TIME THAT IT TOOK IN
THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM.
BUT I THINK ONCE WE HAVE OUR
ONCE WE HAVE THE CASES ARE --
LINED UP AND WE GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
SHORTER AND THEN IT TOOK IN THE
UNDER THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM.
THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM IN THE BILL
WE YES OKAY YES AND MAYBE I CAN
JUST ADD WERE AYE I THINK IN
THAT THE DISCUSSION OF THE
LEGISLATION THERE WAS INTEREST
BY -- THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION TERMS OF A
EXPEDITED PROCESS FOR SMALLER
CASES -- OR
FOR KRETCHMER SIMPLE CASES WE
DON'T HAVE A PROPOSAL THAT BUT
WE ARE CONTINUE TO SORT OF WORK
ON IDEAS AT OTA AS TO HOW THAT
MIGHT.
WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE --
IT WOULD BE AT THE OPTION OF THE
TAXPAYER OBVIOUSLY SOME
TAXPAYERS WOULD PREFER TO GO
THROUGH THE MORE ELABORATE.
PROCESS WITH REALITY AS BUT SOME
MIGHT OPT FOR MARK EXPEDITED.
OKAY THANK YOU.
WATER WHERE YOU WERE IN THE
PROCESS OF ADOPTING PERMIT
REGULATIONS DO EXPECT THE
REGULATIONS WILL BE ADOPTED BY A
GENERAL.
TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN WE DO WE
HAVE -- WE
HAD -- DRAFT
REGULATIONS --
IN IN -- THE
READY IN APRIL WE HAVE ONE
INFORMAL INTERESTED PARTIES
MEETING IN APRIL WE REVISE THIS
PERMIT REGULATIONS LARGELY TO
MAKE THEM MORE INFORMAL --
WE HAD ANOTHER INTERESTED
PARTIES MEETING AT THE BEGINNING
OF JUNE AND ALSO DID SUBSTANCE
SUBSEQUENT RIGHT REVISIONS TO
MAKE THE PROCESS LESS
[inaudible]
FORMAL -- WE
EXPECT A SEND THE PACKAGE OVER
TO OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY.
AND THEN THAT THAT YOU WE ENTER
AND A A FORTY DAY A BOMB.
A FORMAL COMMENT PERIOD WHAT WE
GET ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM
STAKEHOLDERS AND AT THAT POINT
--
WE WOULD FINALIZE THE
REGULATIONS WE COULD BE READY TO
GO BEFORE JANUARY FIRST BUT WE
EXPECT TO BE CERTAINLY READY BY
JANUARY FIRST WITH THOSE IN
PLACE.
OKAY THANK YOU SO ON YOUR YOUR
DRAFT PERMIT REGULATIONS THERE'S
BEEN SOME CONCERN BY TAXPAYER
ADVOCATES.
THAT WAS WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT
FOR SOMEBODY TO REPRESENT
THEMSELVES AND THEY HAVE TO HIRE
OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO HELP THEM.
HAVE YOU DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT
NUMBER ONE AND HAVE YOU.
TAKEN ANY ARE MADE ANY CHANGES
TO THE REGULATIONS TO ALLOW
SOMEONE TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES
--
THE INITIALLY I THINK WE STARTED
OFF WITH A MORE FORMAL PROCESS
ARE.
I'D RATHER CALL IT A LEARNING
EXPERIENCE THAN A MISTER BUT WE
DID LEARN FROM THAT --
THE THE REVISIONS THAT WE DID ON
IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS THOSE
VERY CONCERNS I THINK
SIGNIFICANTLY --
AND FORMALIZE THE PROCESS. ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HAVING
DO IS THAT THE LECTURES THE
LEGISLATION INCLUDES BOTH --
THE OBLIGATION TO ADHERE TO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT
WHICH CAN BE QUITE FORMALLY
PLACES AND ALSO THE DIRECTIVE TO
MAKE IT --
INFORMAL AND ALLOW TAXPAYERS
REPRESENT THEMSELVES OR HAVE A
THEIR FRIEND OR RELATIVE
REPRESENT THEM OUT WE'RE HAVING
TO BALANCE THOSE I THINK WE HAVE
COME UP WITH --
THE MOST RECENT DRAFT IN THE
REGULATIONS WHICH ALLOWS A MORE
--
PERHAPS FORMAL PROCESS FOR VERY
INVOLVED BRETT MULTI STATE CASES
INVOLVING CORPORATIONS --
BUT A MUCH MORE --
INFORMAL PROCESS FOR PEOPLE THAT
ARE REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AND
THEIR SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IN THE
REGULATIONS THAT THE THE I A LJ
IS CAN USE THEIR DISCRETION AND
THE THE THE REGULATIONS
SPECIFIED THAT THE OFFICE --
WANTS TO USE THE LEAST FORMAL
PROCESS FOR THAT PARTICULAR CASE
SO IT DOES AT THIS POINT I TH
BELIEVE GIVES US THE
FLEXIBILITY.
TO ADDRESS BOTH THOSE CONCERNS
OKAY WATER THE TYPICAL TYPES OF
APPEALS THAT COME BEFORE YOU --
THEY ARE THE THEY RANGE ACROSS
THE BOARD SUMMER PENALTY CASES
WHERE THERE MAY BE LATE FILING
THERE COULD BE.
A FAILURE TO FILE.
THE MORE COMPLICATED CASES CAN
BE -- ON THE
PERSONAL INCOME TAX SIDE.
APPORTIONMENT OF INCOME
DETERMINING WHAT IS BUSINESS
INCOME AND WHAT IS NOT BUSINESS
INCOME --
THERE ARE CASES WE HAD A COUPLE
CASES EARLIER THAT INVOLVE UM
WHAT'S KNOWN AS A LIKE KIND
EXCHANGE WHERE YOU CAN.
AVOID CAPITAL GAINS ON A
PROPERTY BY BUYING A SIMILAR
PROPERTY SOMEWHERE ELSE INSERTED
SHIFT THAT YOUR THAT YOUR BASIS
SENATE --
I'VE THE CASES ARE PROBABLY AT
THIS POINT I WOULD.
AND THE ORDER OF MAYBE TWO
THIRDS PERSONAL INCOME TAX AND
CORPORATION TAX AND THE OTHER
THIRD OF BUSINESS TAX MEANING
SALES AND USE TAX --
EXCISED OKAY AND LAST QUESTION
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT BACKLOG --
THE BAT WE ARE CAUGHT UP IN
TERMS OF THE BACKLOG --
SO THERE'S THERE'S A AT A TOTAL
OF TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED CASES
WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A LOT.
ABOUT A THOUSAND OF THOSE ARE
AND WHAT WE CALL --
EXCEPTION STATUS WHICH MEANS OF
THE TAXPAYERS DECIDED.
TO THEY'VE THEY'VE GONE INTO THE
OTA SYSTEM BUT THEN THEY DECIDED
THEY WANT TO SETTLE THEY WANT TO
TRY TO SETTLE WITH WITH FTP OR
WITH CTF.
OR THERE MAY BE CASES THAT ARE
WAITING FOR COURT DECISION.
SO THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE CASES WE
HAVE IS AN ON THE ORDER OF
FOURTEEN HUNDRED FIFTEEN HUNDRED
AND THAT SHOULD BE ABOUT WHERE.
WE WILL BE --
IN TERMS OF SORT OF AN ONGOING
INVENTORY.
OKAY THANKS VERY MUCH NO FURTHER
QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND NOT LET
ME JUST FOR THE RECORD REFLECT
THAT ARE.
AS I GO TO SENATOR ROTH HE
ACTUALLY ARRIVED AT THE MEETING
RIGHT IS MISTER EYEBALL WAS
FINISHING UP HIS CAR SO HE HAS

OPENING STATEMENT YOU CAN

CHAIRMAN ATKINS I WOULD LIKE TO
INTODUCE MY WIFE CHRISTINE.
AND MY DAUGHTER SOPHIA.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR HAVING ME HERE
TODAY MY NAME IS GEORGE PARA
SOTO AND I AM THE ADMINISTRATIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE DIVISION OF
WORKERS [inaudible]
STATION.
BECAUSE OF THE TOOLS YOU HAVE
PROVIDED US IN LEGISLATIVE
REFORM MEMBER MEASURES SUCH AS
S. B. EIGHT SIXTY THREE SB.
ELEVEN SIXTY AND AB TWELVE FORTY
FOUR WE HAVE CHANGED THE WORKERS
COMPENSATION SYSTEM IN A VERY
SIGNIFICANT WAY IN A VERY
POSITIVE WAY.
KNOW OUR SYSTEM HAS SEEN
STABILITY THAT IT HAS NOT SEEN
FOR DECADES.
WE HAVE INCREASED PERMANENT
DISABILITY BENEFITS TO INJURED
WORKERS BY 30%.
WE HAVE SAVED OUR SYSTEM OVER
ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
WE HAVE EXPEDITED THE RESOLUTION
OF MEDICAL TREATMENT DISPUTES
FOR INJURED WORKERS.
IMPLEMENTED A WORKERS
COMPENSATION PRESCRIPTION DRUG
FORMULARY WHICH WENT INTO EFFECT
ON JANUARY FIRST OF THIS YEAR.
AND HAVE TAKEN GREAT STRIDES TO
ELIMINATE THE COSTLY.
OF PROVIDER FRAUD IN OURS.
WE HAVE ELIMINATED OVER THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND LEANS FROM OUR
SYSTEM AND SAVED POSSIBLY
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
I AM PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A PART
OF THAT AND ESPECIALLY PROUD TO
WORK WITH A DEDICATED STAFF THAT
HAS MADE THESE REFORM MEASURES
HAPPEN.
OF COURSE CONSIDERING THE
CALIFORNIA ADMINISTERS ONE OF
THE LARGEST WORKERS COMPENSATION
SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD THAT
REMAINS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
WORK TO BE DONE.
STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE BOARD
FROM MANY DIVERGENT PLACES SAY
THAT OUR GOAL OF THE SYSTEM IS
TO RETURN INJURED WORKERS TO
THEIR JOBS AS EFFICIENTLY AND OF
EE AS POSSIBLE.
IN ORDER TO DO THIS WE MUST
REMAIN DILIGENT IN OUR EFFORTS
TO ENSURE.
THAT EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE IS
PROVIDED TO INJURE THE INJURED
WORKERS AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS
POSSIBLE SOON AFTER THEIR
INJURY.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
MONETARY BENEFITS TO INJURED
WORKERS WHETHER THAT'S TEMPORARY
DISABILITY BENEFITS ARE
PERMANENT DISABILITY BENEFITS BE
PAID IN A TIMELY AND EFFICIENT
MANNER.
AND WE TO HOP TO ADOPT CURRENT
AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN HEALTH
CARE AND DATA REPORTING TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR SYSTEM IS EASIER
TO ACCESS AND TO UNDERSTAND.
I HAVE SEEN THE SYSTEM CHANGE
FOR THE BETTER AND UNDERSTAND
THAT THE BEST PROGRESS THAT WE
HAVE MADE.
IS WHEN IT INVOLVES A MEASURED
APPROACH INVOLVING INPUT FROM
OUR STAKEHOLDERS.
WITH THIS UNDERSTANDING I FEEL
PREPARED TO DO TO LEAD THE
DIVISION'S WORK.
AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION I WOULD BE PLEASED
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE
ABOUT MY QUALIFICATIONS ARE WHAT
WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AT
THE DIVISION.
VERY MUCH I I'M HAPPY TO GO TO
SENATOR ROTH FIRST THIS TIME.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR A
CONGRATULATIONS MISTER DIRECTOR.
OF JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS OF
FIRST ON UTILIZATION REVIEW OF
THOSE OF US WE HAVE CONSTITUENTS
IN OUR DISTRICTS AND SOME OF
THEM ARE.
APPLICANTS AND OTHERS ARE
APPLICANTS COUNSELING OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS I'VE HEARD
COMPLAINTS FROM.
BOTH APPLICANTS AND APPLICANTS
COUNSEL ABOUT THE UTILIZATION
REVIEW PROCESS AND THE INABILITY
TO SECURE MEDICATION FOR
MEDICATIONS --
FOR APPLICANTS WHO WERE WHO
NEEDED THEM APPLICANT SUIT HAD
THEIR CASES ADJUDICATED EARLIER
AND MORE ON A CONTINUING CYCLE
OF MEDICATIONS BUT HAD DELAYS IN
GETTING THE YET THE OF THE
MEDICATION PRESCRIPTIONS.
OR AUTHORIZATIONS RENEWED.
OUR THERE ARE STILL ISSUES WITH
UTILIZATION REVIEW OR OR DID THE
THE LEGISLATURE'S EFFORTS IN.
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN SOON MY
RECITATION IS ACCURATE. TO THE
TWO THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN EFFORT
CORRECT THOSE ISSUES.
I THINK WE HAVE MADE GREAT
STRIDES TO TRY TO ELIMINATE A
LOT OF FRICTION THAT GOES ON IN
UTILIZATION REVIEW.
AND THERE'S STILL WORK TO BE
DONE WHY THINK WHILE ONE STEP
WE'VE TAKEN WHICH IS GOING TO BE
VERY EFFECTIVE IS ADOPTING
MEDICAL TREATMENT GUIDELINES
THAT ARE UPDATED AND ROBUST AND
OR EVIDENCE BASED.
AND FOR YEARS NOW WE'VE BEEN
OPERATING WITH MEDICAL TREATMENT
GUIDELINES THAT HAVE BEEN FAIRLY
OLD THEY WOULD DATE BACK TO TWO
THOUSAND FOUR IF IF THAT DOES
SEEM OLD.
OF THE RECENTLY IN NOVEMBER WE
UPDATED ALL OF OUR GUIDELINES --
TO THE LATEST CHAPTERS OF
REFLECT SPACE MEDICINE BUT WE
NEED TO DO NOW IS MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY'S UTILIZING THESE
GUIDELINES AND THAT EVERYBODY
UNDERSTANDS THAT THE PROCESSES
AND WE HAVE TO IMPROVE
COMMUNICATION.
TREATMENT REQUEST MADE BY A
PHYSICIAN SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
AND SH IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
WITH EVIDENCE AND DOCUMENTATION.
SHOWING THE NECESSITY FOR THAT
TREATMENT.
AND WHEN THESE THESE REQUESTS
ARE LOOKED AT IN UTILIZATION
REVIEW THEY SHOULD TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION THE REQUEST THAT
EVIDENCE AND ALSO THE INJURED
WORKERS EXPECTATIONS.
IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES OR
CONCERNS THERE NEEDS TO BE
COMMUNICATION AND I THINK.
THE MEASURE THAT THEY SB ELEVEN
SIXTY MEASURES WILL HELP PROMOTE
THAT.
AND ONCE WE GET THAT
COMMUNICATION AND WE HOPE TO
REDUCE A LOT OF DISPUTES IN OUR
SYSTEM.
A WHICH I THINK WILL BE
IMPORTANT.
SO USING THE FORMULARY SO ONE
PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT MEDICATIONS
SHOULD BE USED FOR WHAT
CONDITIONS AND IF THEY NEED TO
GO OUTSIDE OF THEM THEY
CERTAINLY CAN'T.
THEY JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY DOCUMENT DOCUMENT THOSE
TREATMENT REQUESTS.
OF WITH WITH THEIR TREATMENT
GUIDELINES WITH OUR FORMULARY
AND HOPEFULLY IMPROVED
COMMUNICATION BECAUSE NOW WE ARE
REQUIRING THAT ALL UTILIZATION
REVIEW ORGANIZATIONS THE DENIER
MODIFY TREATMENTS.
THE ACCREDITED BY NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION CALLED IRAQ SO
HOPEFULLY OVER STANDARDS WILL BE
RECOGNIZED ACROSS THE BOARD WILL
BE CONSISTENT.
IMPROVING ALL THOSE MEASURES I
THINK WILL HELP IMPROVE
UTILIZATION REVIEW AND WILL SEE
THAT I THINK BY THE END OF THE
YEAR NEXT YEAR WITH REDUCED
NUMBERSOF INDEPENDENT MEDICAL
REVIEW APPLICATIONS.
NOW WE SEE ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND
OF THOSE PER MONTH AND I HOPE
THAT'S GREATLY REDUCED AND THE
DATA IS CAPTURED IN A REPORT
THAT THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US.
THE UTILIZATION REVIEW DATA YES
WE ARE NOW WORKING ON THE SYSTEM
TO CAPTURE THAT DATA FROM CLAIMS
ADMINISTRATORS IT IS A LITTLE
COMPLICATED SINCE EVERYBODY HAS
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING
RELEVANT INFORMATION WE GET.
AND WE GET IT ON A TIMELY BASIS
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HONORS
WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS WE HAVE AN
IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE A DRAFT
IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE PROCESS
THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE
DISTRIBUTING.
A AND WE WERE GOING TO COLLECT
THAT DATA WILL BE FASCINATING TO
SEE.
WELL I'M AND THIS ISN'T A POLICY
HEARING SOIL A LIMIT MY
QUESTIONS ON THIS POINT BUT IT
SEEMS TO ME I MEAN SINCE I'VE
BEEN UP HERE FOR SIX YEARS I'VE
BEEN TALKING.
AGENCIES AND AGENCY PERSONNEL
ABOUT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES IN
YOU KNOW IN THE MILITARY WE HAVE
A SAYING WHAT IT MEANT GETS
MEASURE GETS DONE.
SO I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
TO KNOW WHETHER WE'RE WINNING
THE WAR LOSING THE WAR HERE.
AND IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT
FOR ME TO HAVE YOU IN YOUR
ORGANIZATION ENSURE THAT THE
DATA CAPTURING A A SYSTEM.
A APPROPRIATELY CAN.
THE INFORMATION IN A RESULT
THAT'S STAND BY US SO WE CAN
DECIDE WHETHER THE TIMELINE TO
GOING DOWN.
AND THE TRENDS TREND LINES A
POSITIVE.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH.
LET ME MOVE ON TO LET ME MOVE ON
TO A Q. AMIS.
OTHERS OF APPARENTLY OF A
SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED MEDICAL
EXAMINERS ON THESE PANELS IS
THAT.
THAT'S WHAT OUR INFORMATION
SUGGESTS THE NUMBER OF Q. EMMYS
QUALIFIED MEDICAL EVALUATORS
HAVE GEEK I THINK OF DECREASED
ABOUT 20% SINCE.
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN AND THERE ARE
OF THE SHORTAGES OF THEM IN SOME
VARIOUS SPECIALTIES.
HOW AND TO WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE
TO DECREASE?
I THINK THERE ARE VARIOUS
FACTORS THAT COME INTO THAT SOME
PEOPLE SAY WELL WORKERS
COMPENSATION IS VERY CHALLENGING
AND WHY SHOULD I PUT IN ALL THIS
WORK TO DO THAT.
I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING
WE'RE GOING TO RETRY TO AND
REALLY IDENTIFYING ADDRESS.
AND WHAT IS COMPLICATED ABOUT
THE SYSTEM.
I THINK THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE
HAS CHANGED GREATLY OVER THE
PAST FEW YEARS THERE ARE LARGER
MEDICAL GROUPS NOW.
THAT DON'T WANT THEIR POSITIONS
TO VOTE TO DEVOTE AS MUCH TIME
FROM QUALIFIED MEDICAL
EVALUATORS I THINK THAT'S PART
POSSIBLY A FACTOR --
AND THEN THERE'S POSSIBLY OTHER.
OTHER REASONS WHETHER IT'S THE
PAYMENT THE FEE SCHEDULE WHICH
WERE CERTAINLY GOING TO LOOK
INTO AND ARE LOOKING INTO RIGHT
NOW.
SO IS ABANDONING IT ANY ANALYSIS
DONE OF THE MEDICAL LEGAL FEE.
SCHEDULE ON ITS SPECIFIC IMPACT
ON THE AVAILABILITY OF Q. AMIS I
KNOW THE RAND CORPORATION IS
DOING A STUDY FOR US ON THE
MEDICALLY.
SCHEDULE AND WILL POSSIBLY OFFER
RECOMMENDATIONS --
I'VE HD Q. EMMYS TELL ME THAT
THEY JUST ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S BEING
PAID FOR SOME OF THE WORK THEY
DO.
I KNOW IN CERTAIN INSTANCES THEY
WILL SPEND HOURS LOOKING AT
MEDICAL RECORDS ON AND DN'T GET
COMPENSATED FOR BASED ON THE
TIME THEY SPENT --
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE
GOING TO LOOK AT AT THIS POINT
WE HAVE WE HAVE DROPPED
REGULATIONS THAT WE PUT ON OUR
FORUM THAT'S GOING TO TRY.
TO TRY.
TO CLARIFY SOME OF THE ITEMS
THAT WE HAVE.
I'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT
AFTER TALKING TO SOME
STAKEHOLDERS WE ARE CONSIDERING
CHANGES TO IT AND I THINK THAT
WE DO NEED TO TAKE AN OVERALL
LOOK AT OUR SYSTEM.
ARE OF EVALUATING THOSE MEDICAL
LEGAL DISPUTES A AND THE FEE
SCHEDULE WILL BE A PART OF HER
HOW DO WE INCREASE THE FEES TO
FEE REIMBURSEMENTS.
I THINK WE NEED AND I'LL WAIT TO
OVERREACH THE RAND CORPORATION
TO SEE WHETHER WHAT WE HAVE IN
PLACE RIGHT NOW WHICH IS IN
PLATE WHICH HAS BEEN DONE PLACE.
FOR FOR QUITE AWHILE I THINK
OVER TEN YEARS AT LEAST THE FEES
ANYWAYS ARE THEY ADEQUATE
WITHOUT AN INCREASE WITHOUT AN
INCREASE.
THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE.
IN THE STATE WITH RESPECT TO
HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WERE WERE
A LITTLE SHORT ON THE
REIMBURSEMENT RATE.
SITUATION SO I'D LIKE TO SEE
THAT ADDRESS WILL WILL HAVE TO
IT WILL UP TO ABOUT.
ESPECIALLY AGAINST OUR OFFICIAL
MEDICAL FEE SCHEDULE KNOW THOSE
FEES THAT ARE PAID TO TREATING
PHYSICIANS AND SEE HOW THEY
COMPARE.
SOME HAVE COMPLAINED TO US SOME
OF US ABOUT.
A REGULATIONS SO THAT THE
DIVISION IS IN THE PROCESS OF
ADOPTING OR MAYBE HAS ADOPTED
OUTSIDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURES ACT --
IS THERE SUCH AN EFFORT ONGOING
AND IF SO WHETHER THE
REGULATIONS COVER.
OUTSIDE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURES ACT --
IN THE PEOPLE COME TO ME USE THE
TERMUNDERGROUND I PREFER THAT
SENSE TO BE A TOXIC TERM.
OF WHICH I'D CHOOSE NOT TO USE
BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S AN
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT
FOR THE PROMULGATION AND
ADOPTION OF REGULATIONS.
BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND IF
THIS WERE THE CASE IT WOULD NOT
BE THE FIRST TIME THAT AN
AGENCIES ATTEMPTED TO ADOPT.
OF SOMETHING IN THE NATURE OF A
REGULATION WITHOUT GOING THROUGH
THE APA AND I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF THERE'S ANY.
ONGOING EFFORT BY THE DIVISION
TO DO SO APPLICABLE TO THIS.
CUBA ME IN WORKERS COMPENSATION
PROCESS.
OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE IT TOOK ON
THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR
POSITION --
THE QUEUE AT ME AND THE MEDICAL
LEGAL FEE SCHEDULE WAS AN ISSUE
LOOKING AT THAT FEE SCHEDULE
THERE ARE VARIOUS WAYS OF
INTERPRETING IT.
AND WE LOOKED AT THAT
INTERPRETED IN THE WAY THAT WE
THOUGHT WAS APPROPRIATE.
IN OTHER WORDS IF AN ISSUE WAS A
DISPUTED AND THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT REALLY NEEDED TO BE --
COMPENSATE COMPENSATION WOULD BE
PAID FOR THOSE ISSUES IN DISPUTE
ISSUES THAT WERE NOT IN DISPUTE.
A WE DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY
DESERVE THAT TYPE OF EXTRA
COMPLEXITY PAYMENT OF IT IS A
VERY CHALLENGING SCHEDULE IT'S
SUBJECT TO VARIOUS VARIOUS
INTERPRETATIONS --
BASED ON OUR INTERPRETATIONS WE
LOOKED AT BUILDINGS THAT WERE
THAT WERE MADE AND COMPLAINTS
THAT WERE FILED ABOUT ABUSE OF
DOING TAP ABUSE OF BE BILLING
PRACTICES WE TRIED TO ADDRESS
THOSE UNDER OUR INTERPRETATIONS.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT OTHER PEOPLE
HAVE INTERPRETATION VARIOUS
DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS THAN
WE HAVE.
I DID RESULT IN LITIGATION WE
DID TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT.
AND PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING
NOW IS TO CORRECT ANY TYPE OF
AMBIGUITY IN THOSE REGULATIONS
AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD VERY
DELIBERATELY WITHOUT PROCESS
RIGHT NOW.
AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WHAT WE'RE DOING TRANSPARENT
THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT WE'RE
DOING AND THAT PEOPLE HAVE A
CHANCE TO BE --
INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.
WITH THE DRAFT REGULATIONS LIKE
I I WAS SPEAKING UP WE PUT THAT
OUR WEBSITE FORUM AND THEY
ELICITED --
I WOULD SAY TSUNAMI BUT QUITE A
FEW COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT
THEM AND WEAK AND WE TAKE THAT
SERIOUSLY AND WE ARE LOOKING AT
THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO FORCE ANY
REGULATIONS THROUGH I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE KNOW AGAIN
KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING I DON'T
THINK THAT EVERYBODY'S GOING TO
AGREE WITH WHAT THAT WITH WHAT
WE'RE DOING.
BUT I THINK WE WOULD WANT TO
MOVE FORWARD IN A REASONABLE WAY
BECAUSE THE IMPORTANT THING IS
IS THAT THESE DISPUTES FOR
INJURED WORKERS GET RESOLVED
QUICKLY.
AND WHOEVER DOES THE WORK TO
EVALUATE THEM GETS PAID WHAT
THEY SHOULD.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR
THAT.
CLEAR AND THOROUGH A RESPONSE TO
MY QUESTION I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE AND I CONGRATULATE
YOU ON ON YOUR POSITION IN YOUR
YOUR APPOINTMENT THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR [inaudible]
MISTER CANNELLA.
THEY COMMITTED PRO TEM US
SENATOR ROTH TESTS SEVERAL OF MY
QUESTIONS.
I JUST ONE REMAINS --
WE'VE ALL HEARD ABOUT.
BROAD IN THE WORKERS
COMPENSATION PROGRAM I'VE SEEN
IT FIRST HAND AND I HAVE LOTS OF
FRIENDS THAT HAVE BUSINESSES
THAT XENA.
WHAT IS YOUR AGENCY DOING TO
COMBAT?
THE CONTINUOUS FROM NOT SAYING
IT'S ITS WIDESPREAD OUR YOU KNOW
IT'S ALLOW SIGNIFICANT IT IS BUT
THERE IS FRAUD.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO TO
COMBAT THAT?
AB -- TWELVE
FORTY FOUR WHICH IS PUT INTO
EFFECT LAST YEAR OF REALLY ASKED
US TO DO [inaudible] TO TO
REDUCE.
M. ELIMINATE PROVIDER FRAUD IN
OUR SYSTEM AND THERE WAS QUITE A
BIT OF PROVIDER FRAUD IN OUR
SYSTEM I THINK IT MADE THE
HEADLINES AND ALL THAT IS IN AND
A LOT OF MEDIA THE PAST FEW
YEARS IS.
WERE INJURED WORKERS WERE
GETTING SPINAL SURGERIES WHEN
THEY REALLY DIDN'T NEED THEM
JUST SOME MONEY CAN BE MADE --
WE LOOKED AT OUR LEAN SYSTEM AND
REALIZE THAT ANY PHYSICIANS OR
COULD FILE A LEAN FOR
PRACTICALLY ANY REASON CLOGGED
UP ARE CLOGGED UP OUR
ADMINISTRATIVE COURT SYSTEM --
INPUT WITH THE TOOLS AGAIN
THOUGH YOU'VE GIVEN US WHAT WE
WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW ONE THAT
DIVERT THE DEPARTMENT IS CREATED
IN A CREATED AN ANTI FRAUD UNIT.
WHICH WILL LOOK AT THE DATA THAT
WE'VE COLLECTED TO SEE IF THEY
CAN DO TO IMPROVE THAT THEY CAN
DISCOVER PATTERNS.
OF THAT WE CAN SHOW IT TO
PROSECUTORS WE WORK WITH
PROSECUTORS UP AND DOWN THE
STATE NOW WORLD AND LOOK TAKING
WORKERS COMPENSATION FRAUD
SERIOUSLY.
AND INTERPRETING BRINGING
INDIVIDUALS TO TRIAL TO COURT --
INDICTED PROVIDERS THOSE WHO
HAVE BEEN INDICTED OR CHARGED
WITH CRIMINAL --
FRAUD FRAUDULENT ACTIVE.
WE'RE NOW BEING STATE NOTHING
CAN BE DONE WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW AT THIS POINT WE HAVE
HOPE I THINK ALMOST. FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND LEANS BEING
STATE IN OUR SYSTEM FROM
PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN CHARGED.
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED WE
ARE SUSPENDING FROM OUR SYSTEM
WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST SUSPENSION
PROCESS WE'VE BEEN VERY
AGGRESSIVE IF SUSPENDED OVER TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY PROVIDERS.
WHEN WE GET AN INDICATION THAT
THEY HAVE BEEN CRIMINALLY
CONVICTED WE PROVIDE THEM NOTICE
WE GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO BE
HEARD IF SOMEHOW WE GOT
SOMETHING WRONG?
OF BUT IF WE HADN'T IF THEY
DON'T REQUEST A HEARING OR IF WE
PREVAIL AT THE HEARING WILL THEN
THEY'RE ELIMINATED.
THEY CANNOT TREAT INJURED
WORKERS THEY CANNOT ACT AS A
CUBA ME A UTILIZATION REVIEW
PHYSICIAN.
AND THEIR LEANS ARE CONSOLIDATED
IF THEY HAVE ACTIVE LEANS IN OUR
SYSTEM THEIR CONSOLIDATED AND
THEY NEED TO SHOW THAT THOSE
LEADS ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THEIR
FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY --
AND IF THEY ARE OR IF THEY CAN'T
PROVE THAT IN THOSE LEADS ARE
ELIMINATED FROM THE SYSTEM.
ALSO WE'VE FIXED OUR ELECTRONIC
ADJUDICATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
WE'VE MADE IT LESS OF A SPONGE
WE PAT FILTERS UP FRONT WHERE
NOW IF A POSITION OR PROVIDER
WANTS TO FILING THEY HAVE TO
FILE A DECLARATION.
SHOWS THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO
PROVIDED THE SERVICE AND THEY
ARE THE ONES WHO ARE FILING A
VALID LEAD.
THIS REQUIREMENT WAS PUT INTO
PLACE LAST YEAR AND WE REQUIRED
THAT DECLARATION FOR ALL LEANS
IN OUR SYSTEM AND FOR THOSE THAT
DID NOT FILE A DECLARATION THEY
WERE TAKEN OUT I THINK UP TO
ABOUT.
TWO HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND A SO
WE THINK THAT'S BEEN VERY
EFFECTIVE.
SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD
ON THE PROVIDER FRAUD AND WE
ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THOSE
OTHER FRAUDULENT ASPECTS IN OUR
SYSTEM NEAR BECAUSE THERE IS
EMPLOYER FRAUD ALSO WHETHER
THAT'S NOT REPORTING WORKERS
COMPENSATION CLAIMS WHETHER
THAT'S NOT PAYING THE CORRECT
PREMIUMS FOR EMPLOYEES --
IT IS IT IS A OF VAST NET THAT
WE THAT WE HAVE TO THROW AND I
THINK WE WILL BE WORKING ON THAT
QUITE DILIGENTLY.
EXCEPT PROVIDER FRAUD EMPLOYER
FRAUD WITHOUT EMPLOYEE FRAUD
THERE IS EMPLOYEE FRAUD IN THE
SYSTEM I THINK THAT GETS A LOT
OF MEDIA ATTENTION AND THAT'S
ALSO BEING ADDRESSED WHETHER
THROUGH OUR ADJUDICATION SYSTEM
--
WHETHER THAT GOES BEFORE COURT
AND ALSO WHETHER WHEN HE PUT WE
HEAR ABOUT THAT YOU KNOW WE ALSO
WORK WITH PROSECUTORS.
TO IT'S INTERESTING THAT YOU
LEFT THAT OUT OF YOUR
DESCRIPTION THE WHY IS THAT IS
THAT DO YOU BELIEVE THAT*.
SO MINIMAL DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE
TO BE MENTIONED I DON'T THINK
IT'S SO MINIMAL.
BUT I THINK THAT HAS BEEN THE
UNDUE FOCUS OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS WHEN ANYBODY TALKS ABOUT
WORKERS' COMPENSATION FRAUD AND
ALWAYS ALWAYS GOES BACK TO PLOY
HE OF WHO'S DOING THAT THERE ARE
OTHER ASPECTS OF THAT.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK
EVERYBODY HOUSE TO RECOGNIZE YOU
KNOW IT IT THIS IS THIS IS A
HUGE SO THIS IS A HUGE SYSTEM
THAT WE HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BAD
ACTORS OUR ACROSS THE BOARD AND
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY GETS.
THAT'S ALL THAT GETS ADDRESSED
IN THAT NOTHING GETS PUT ASIDE.
OKAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CANNELLA MISTER
MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
THEM.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO
THE STATEMENT CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTMENT I
JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
APPRECIATED YOUR TIME EARLIER --
MEETING WITH ME AND IN THE
OFFICE AND YOU OFFERED A LOT OF
ASSURANCE OF YOUR RANGE OF
EXPERIENCE IN.
IN COMMITMENT TO MOVING MOVING
FOR IT'S BEEN A VERY.
CHALLENGING SYSTEM --
ONE OF MY AREAS OF INTEREST.
IS HOW YOU EDUCATE [inaudible]
BOTH.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS TO THEIR
THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE LAW.
AND HOW YOU DO THAT WITH OUR
MULTI [inaudible]
LANGUAGE STATE.
THAT IS QUITE A CHALLENGE OF I
WOULD SAY THAT WE DO HAVE A VERY
ROBUST WEBSITE WHERE WE PROVIDE
INFORMATION TO INJURED WORKERS.
AND EMPLOYERS AND PROVIDERS AND
WE ARE ALWAYS CONSTANTLY WORKING
TO MAKE THAT A BETTER PLACE FOR
INFECTED TO GATHER INFORMATION.
A WE DO HAVE ARE INJURED WORKER
GUIDES THAT WE PROVIDE INJURED
WORKERS AT OUR DISTRICT OFFICES
AND THEY'RE ALSO AVAILABLE ON
OUR WEBSITE I THINK THAT
PROVIDES GREAT INFORMATION FOR
PEOPLE.
OF WE HAVE INFORMATION AND
ASSISTANCE OFFICERS OF WHO
REALLY KNOW KNOW HOW THE SYSTEM
WORKS AND CAN EXPLAIN TO INJURED
WORKERS THE PROCESS --
THAT THEY NEED TO GO THROUGH.
OF AND WE ALSO DO COMMUNITY
OUTREACH THROUGH VARIOUS
ORGANIZATIONS ON THAT ANYBODY
ALL CALLS US UP ANY GROUP OR
ORGANIZATION WERE CERTAINLY
WILLING TO TALK WITH THEM.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF
OUR INFORMATION IS TRANSLATED
INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES WHETHER
IT'S SPANISH AND VIETNAMESE
TAGALOGS.
OF WE KNOW WE SEE THE VALUE IN
THAT THEM IT'S VERY VERY
DIFFICULT WHEN SOMEONE GETS
INJURED ON THE JOB. TO ENTER
INTO THIS VERY CHALLENGING
SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IN ANY
ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO TRY
TO MAKE IT BETTER --
WE WILL CERTAINLY LOOK INTO IT
AND ADDRESS IT MAMA WE LIKE THE
IDEA OF DOING WEBINARS WE
CERTAINLY DO THOSE FOR MEDICAL
PROVIDERS TO EXPLAIN OUR OUR FEE
SCHEDULES ARE FORMULARY.
AND OUR TREATMENT GUIDELINES --
I CERTAINLY BE WOULD BE WILLING
TO EXPAND THAT AS BEST WE CAN.
ANNA IN EMPLOYEE HAS A RIGHT.
IT'S A NO FAULT SYSTEM IF THE
EMPLOYEES INJURED AT THEIR PLACE
OF WORK IN THAT.
THAT IS VERIFIED THEY ARE
ENTITLED TO GET THE MEDICAL
TREATMENT THEY NEED IS THAT
CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT.
IN THAT'S REGARDLESS OF THEIR
LEGAL STATUS IS THAT CRAFT
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SITUATION
WHERE THE EMPLOYER?
HE IS NOT REGISTERED AND NOT
PAYING WORKERS COMP PREMIUMS.
IS A WORKER STILL PROTECTED.
THE WORKER IS STILL PROTECTED IF
THERE'S AN UNINSURED EMPLOYER --
THEN WE HAVE A SPECIAL
ORGANIZATION OR UNIT IN THE
DEPARTMENT CALLED THE UNEMPLOYED
INSURERS FUND.
WHERE THE INJURED WORKER CAN GO
AND GET PAYMENTS FROM THAT FUND
A IN THE MEANTIME WE WOULD TRY
TO TRACK DOWN THAT EMPLOYER TO
MAKE SURE IF THAT THEY HAVE IF
THEY DO HAVE ASSETS THEY WOULD
BE PAID OVER?
AND I KNOW WE'VE MADE EFFORTS IN
THE LEGISLATURE.
TO SILICATES SHARING OF
INFORMATION AMONG AND BETWEEN
DIFFERENT STATE AGENCIES THAT
MAY HAVE ANOTHER PARALLEL
INVESTIGATION PARTICULARLY ON
WHAT WE CALL THE UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY --
BUT FOR THE UNSOPHISTICATED
WORKER.
IMMIGRANT WORKERS --
HOW DO YOU?
MANY OF THEM ARE GONNA GO TO
YOUR WEBSITE.
BASRA SO HOW DO THEY LEARN OF
THEIR ABSOLUTE RIGHT.
TO PURSUE MEDICAL TREATMENT OF A
WORK RELATED INJURY.
I THINK THEY NEED TO GO.
TO GET MEDICAL TREATMENT AND I
WOULD HOPE THE PHYSICIANS ARE
WELL VERSED IN UNDERSTANDING
WHAT IS WORK RELATED IN WHAT IS
NOT AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN
ELICIT THE INFORMATION FROM AN
INJURED WORKER.
NO THAT THE INJURY OCCURRED ON
THE JOB.
AND IF THE INJURY OCCURRED ON
THE JOB IN THE PHYSICIAN NEEDS
TO FILE A DOCTOR'S FIRST REPORT
OF INJURY.
ON THAT NEEDS TO BE WITH THE
INSURER I WOULD HOPE THAT IT
DOESN'T GO BACK TO THE EMPLOYER
WHO PUTS IT INTO A DESK AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS.
WE'VE GOT WE WE NOW HAVE A
MANDATE TO HAVE AN ELECTRONIC
DOCTORS FIRST A REPORT FORM BE
SENT DIRECTLY TO THE DIVISION.
I AS OPPOSED TO BEING GIVEN TO
AN EMPLOYER TO GIVE TO AN
INSURANCE COMPANY.
AND THAT'S ONE AREA THAT I'M
WILL BE FASCINATED TO SEE AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE CAPTURING
ALL WORKERS BECAUSE THE STATION
CLAIMS SO I THINK THAT'S GOOD
THAT WILL BE VERY POSITIVE I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
MENTIONING THAT BECAUSE THAT
DOCTOR'S DUTY TO REPORT --
HAS HAD MIXED COMPLIANCE IN
DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES DIFFERENT
REGIONS OF THE STATE AND I DON'T
THINK IT'S BEEN --
NECESSARILY INTENTIONAL
MALFEASANCE BY MEDICAL PROVIDERS
BUT IT'S JUST NOT ON THE RADAR
THAT IT'S A DUTY.
TO ASK THE WORKER.
HOW THEY GOT THE ENTRY WHERE
THEY GOT THE INJURY?
WHAT TYPE OF WORK THEY DO HIS
EMPLOYER TO FILE THAT REPORT?
WITH THE ADVENT OF ELECTRONIC
MEDICAL.
A SYSTEMS IN DOCTORS OFFICES AND
HOSPITALS NOW I WOULD HOPE SOME
OF THOSE SYSTEMS COULD
INCORPORATE.
A THAT DOCTORS FIRST REPORT WITH
AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMITTAL.
TEAR AGENCIES THAT SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN LOOK INTO
ABSOLUTELY ARCH OUR IT UNIT IS
WORKING VERY HARD RIGHT NOW TO
CREATE ONLINE PORTALS FOR
PHYSICIANS TO FILL OUT THE FORM
ON THE WEBSITE.
OR FOR THOSE LARGER
ORGANIZATIONS TO COLLECT THAT
DATA AND SEND IT TO US VIA A
WHAT WHAT ELECTRONIC DATA
INTERCHANGE.
ARE I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A
REAL IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT STEP
FORWARD NO AGAIN OUR SYSTEM IS
VERY CHALLENGING AND IMPOSES A
LOT OF VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS.
KNOW PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF WORDS
FOR YOU.
A LOT OF ANALOGIES.
SPIDER WEB HIGHWAY INTERCHANGE
THAT GOES NO WHERE.
I THINK WE NEED TO SIMPLE FIRE
SYSTEM MAKE THE OBLIGATIONS
CLEAR YOU KNOW FOR PHYSICIANS
WILL HAVE A BETTER FORMS THAT
WILL PROVIDE BETTER INFORMATION
THAT CAN BE SENT.
OF ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY WHICH
WILL HOPEFULLY REDUCE A LOT OF
THE LAST.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE
AGAIN YOUR BEING HERE TODAY AND
MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR SERVICE TO
THE STATE I THINK WE HAVE THE
RIGHT PERSON FOR THE RIGHT JOB
AT THE RIGHT TIME THANK YOU.
MADAM CHAIR.
VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE THE
COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS OF MY
COLLEAGUES.
ON SO MANY ISSUES --
I ONLY HAD.
KIND OF ONE AREA THAT I WANTED
TO ASK.
YOU ABOUT --
YOU KNOW THIS AS I TRAVEL UP AND
DOWN THE STATE AND MEET WITH
EMPLOYERS OF ALL SIZES.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT I
HEAR PEOPLE TALK ABOUT SO HELP
ME UNDERSTAND IN THE INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO US.
THERE WAS --
A NOTATION MADE ABOUT A
REDUCTION OF 35% IN WORKERS
COMPENSATION INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
SINCE TWENTY FIFTEEN AND WHAT I
WANT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND
BECAUSE IF YOU TALK TO
BUSINESSES.
IS THAT 35% REDUCTION IN
PREMIUMS IS THAT ACROSS ALL
EMPLOYERS ODD DO DIFFERENTIATE
IN TERMS OF REVENUE OR COMPANY
SIZE.
I BELIEVE THAT THE INFORMATION
IS ACROSS ALL EMPLOYERS.
NOW I WILL SAY THE DIVISION
WORKERS COMPENSATION DOES NOT
DIRECTLY CONTROL EMPLOYEE
PREMIUMS THAT'S MORE ALONG THE
LINES OF THE V. INSURANCE
COMMISSIONER RIGHT BUT OURS BUT
I THINK WHAT WE'VE DONE
THROUGHOUT THE PAST THREE YEARS.
BY ELIMINATING A LOT OF FRICTION
NURSES SIR INDEPENDENT MEDICAL
REVIEW OUT WE'VE REDUCED A LOT
OF OVERHEAD COST THEY ARE STILL
HIGH WE STILL NEED TO ADDRESS
THAT.
BUT BY ELIMINATING THOSE DOLLARS
THE ON THAT ARE SPENT THAT THAT
ARE NOT GOING TO AN INJURED
WORKER.
HERE THAT ARE GOING TO DO IT
WHETHER IT'S BEING PAID TO
ATTORNEYS ARE UTILIZATION REVIEW
ORGANIZATIONS IF WE CAN TRY TO
REDUCE THAT.
THAT I THINK EVERYBODY BENEFITS
IN THE LONG RUN INCLUDING
REDUCTION REDUCTION PREMIUMS.
SO -- IN
TERMS OF A A HOW.
TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE I A I GET
THE ISSUES ARE FRAUD --
UTILIZATION RATES UP ALL OF THE
THINGS ARE GOING TO ONE PIECE OF
IT AND PROVIDE AND CARE THAT'S
NEEDED FOR THE EMPLOYEES BUT IF
WE T WILL FOR OF WHAT YOU'RE
TELLING ME IS THAT IF WE WANT TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF PREMIUMS.
OUT WE HAVE TO DO THAT VIA
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
REGULATIONS LAWS POTENTIALLY
RELATED.
TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WE
GOT SIT WITHIN HIS JURISDICTION.
OKAY.
MISTER ROTH IF YOU CAN SHED SOME
LIGHT ON THIS LAW METATRON ABOUT
LIGHT BUT MAY I FOLLOW UP WITH
THE QUESTIONS.
CLEARED TO GO WHEN I WAS
PRIVILEGED TO CHAIR THE
INSURANCE COMMITTEE WE HAD A A
HEARING --
AND WAS STATE FUND.
AND ONE OF THE ISSUES WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT WAS PREMIUMS AND
WORKERS COMP PREMIUMS.
AND AS I RECALL THE TESTIMONY
THERE WAS TESTIMONY TO THE
EFFECT THAT THERE WAS A
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE.
IN CRIMSON PAID BY EMPLOYERS IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
EMPLOYERS PAID BY EMPLOYERS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
ANDTHAT WAS ATTRIBUTED IN LARGE
PART AS I RECALL. TO THE NATURE
OF THE LITIGATION P..
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
AND PART OF THAT UNDER
QUESTIONING WAS ATTRIBUTED TO AN
APPARENT LACK OF THE ABILITY OF
OF FOR EXAMPLE SPANISH SPEAKING.
INJURED WORKERS TO GAIN
INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORKERS
COMP PROGRAM AND PROCESS AND
CLAIMS FILING PROCEDURE.
AND THOSE PEOPLE AND THOSE
INJURED WORKERS SEEING THAN
BEING DRIVEN TO LAW FIRMS TO
NOTHING AGAINST LAWYERS AND LAW
FIRMS BEING ONE BUT DRIVEN TO
LAWYERS AND LAW FIRMS AS A
SOURCE OF INFORMATION AS OPPOSED
TO HAVING --
STATE FUND IN THIS CASE OR OF
THE DIVISION.
BE THE SOURCE OF THAT
INFORMATION.
THAT'S A LONG STATEMENT LET ME
FALL WITH THE QUESTION IS ANY OF
THAT ACCURATE AND IF SO WHAT CAN
WE DO ABOUT IT.
I THINK SPUR I THINK THE ABILITY
TO GET OUT INFORMATION TO
INJURED WORKERS.
REGARDLESS OF THE LANGUAGE THAT
THEY SPEAK IS ESSENTIAL.
AND WE CERTAINLY AGAIN WITHIN
THE ABILITY OF OUR RESOURCES WE
NEED TO DO THAT.
ARE AS TO THE DIFFERENCE OF
THEIR IS FROM MY UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT MORE LITIGATION IN THE
SOUTH OF THAN THERE IS IN THE
WHETHER THAT'S DUE --
TO OF AGGRESSIVE ATTORNEYS OR
THE FACT THAT.
IT COULD BE A INJURED WORKERS
MAY NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION
THAT'S HARD FOR ME TO SAY AND I
YOU KNOW I WILL THAT'S SOMETHING
I WILL CERTAINLY LOOK INTO WELL
LET ME AS HIS ME MORE ONE OF THE
OTHER PIECES THAT I SEEM TO
RECALL MY MOLD [inaudible]
BUT I SEEM TO RECALL THAT STATE
FUND WAS HAVING TO LOCAL TV.
ARIBA RECRUITING AND RETAINING
SPEAKS SPANISH SPEAKING --
CLAIMS REPRESENTATIVES FOR
EXAMPLE OR INFORMATION PERSONS.
I ASSUME YOU MAY HAVE THE SAME
DIFFICULTY BUT HOW CAN WE HELP
THE DIVISION --
BOLSTER YOUR WORK FORCE IN THAT
AREA SO THAT YOU YOU THE
DIVISION.
CAN BE THE FIRST POINT OF
CONTACT.
FOR ACCURATE AND COMPLETE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE INJURIES
IN THE PROCESS CLAIMS CLAIMS
FILING.
AND CLAIMS ADJUDICATION.
CAN WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU.
I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
REALLY TAKE A HARD LOOK AND
WHETHER THAT'S DOING RESEARCH
COLLECTING DATA.
ON AND WE TALKED ABOUT GETTING
THAT MEANINGFUL DATA WHICH WILL
GIVE US ANSWERS.
YOU KNOW TO TRY TO SEE WHAT
INJURIES ARE ARE WE SEEING
ACROSS THE STATE FROM WHAT
INDUSTRIES IN WHAT JOB
OCCUPATIONS.
THEY IS ENGLISH THE FIRST
LANGUAGE OF THAT INJURED WORKER
I'M I THINK ONCE WE GET A BETTER
IDEA OF THAT THEN.
THEN I THINK WE CAN TRY TO
ADDRESSED SOLUTIONS AND IF WE
CAN FIT IN IF WE CAN COME UP
WITH A SOLUTION.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE MORE
RESOURCES IT WOULD CERTAINLY
COME COME AND ASK FOR THAT
DISPLAY NOT BE A FAIR QUESTION
IN THE AND WHEN I WORK FOR THE
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
WE USED TO CALL THEM INFORMATION
OFFICER.
THERE WAS A PERSON WHO DREW THE
DAILY JOB OF SITTING THERE AND
BEING THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT
FOR WORKERS WHO HAD QUESTIONS
ABOUT.
THE THE PROCESS WERE.
GRIEVANCES THAT THEY HAD ARE YOU
ARE YOU ADEQUATELY STAFFED WITH
RESPECT TO BILINGUAL OR
MULTILINGUAL --
EMPLOYEES AT THAT FIRST POINT OF
CONTACT WHATEVER YOU CALL IT
WHEN YOU COLOR AN INFORMATION
OFFICER OR SOMETHING ELSE WE
HAVE AN INFORMATION AND
ASSISTANCE UNIT WE HAVE
INFORMATION ASSISTANCE OFFICERS
IN ALL IN ALL OF OUR DISTRICT
OFFICES.
AND WE HAVE A CALL CENTER IN SAN
BERNADINO WE DO HAVE BILINGUAL
SPEAKERS AND I HAVE NOT HEARD AT
THIS POINT OF A PROBLEM.
OR SHORTAGE --
IF THAT IS BROUGHT TO MY
ATTENTION THAT WILL.
IS NEITHER A POLICY NOR A BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE HEARING BUT AT THE
APPROPRIATE POINT IN TIME I I
WOULD HOPE THAT. ONE OF US HERE.
OR THOSE OF US WHO WERE NOT HERE
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE
THAT ISSUE WITH YOU IN MORE
DETAIL BECAUSE I THINK THAT GOES
TO MY COLLEAGUE.
SENATOR MUNNINGS QUESTION AND OF
COURSE TO THE CHAIRS QUESTION ON
PREMIUMS IN PREMIUM INCREASES SO
AGAIN THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR FOR
YOUR PATIENCE.
NO ABSOLUTELY --
SENATOR ROTH I REALLY APPRECIATE

MAY AND THERE MAY BE VERY WELL
WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO IN THE
POLICY ROOM OR THE BUDGETROUND.

--
UNDER CONSIDERATION THAT
ABSOLUTELY --
UNDERSTANDS THE BREADTH AND
DEPTH AND OBVIOUSLY WITH YOUR
RESUME IN YOUR EXPERIENCE --
VERY HELPFUL TO US HERE IN
CALIFORNIA WE HAVE A LARGE WORK
FORCE.
THE LANGUAGE --
ISSUES ARE RELEVANT ONE OF OUR
COLLEAGUES ASK US TO BE.

WITH THAT AND THERE MAY BE MORE
WORK TO DO.

BERRIES AMONG MANY OTHERS.
I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN SERIOUSLY MY
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY.
AND THAT IS TO CARRY OUT THE
MISSION OF THE ALR A TO THE FAIR
AND IMPARTIAL.
TREPIDATION AND APPLICATION OF
THE LAW.
AS WITH ANY ARBITER OF LEGAL
DISPUTES.
THE BOARD'S DECISIONS ARE
REGULARLY CHALLENGED BY.
BUT PRETTY MUCH ALL PROVIDES
THEM OF THE AISLE.
IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT FROM THE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN BOARD
DECISIONS AND WHAT'S I HAVE
PARTICIPATED. FORTY SEVEN
INVOLVING ISSUES OF FIRST
IMPRESSION THERE'VE BEEN THIRTY
THREE APPEALS AND WE HAVE BEEN
OVERTURNED ONCE.
PROVIDING GUIDANCE IN AREAS OF
PREVIOUSLY UNSETTLED LAW IS
NECESSARY TO THE MISSION OF THE
LRA AND SOMETHING OF WHICH I AM
PROUD TO BE A PART OF THINK YOU
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING
YOUR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF A SENATOR
MONNING I'M GOING TO START WITH
YOU THE STRAW.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND THANK
YOU MISSOURI AND AND THIS FOR
JOINING US TODAY AND FOR YOUR
SERVICE TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA --
YOU DISCUSSED SOME OF YOUR
PERSONAL OUTREACH EFFORTS AND
THE OUTREACH EFFORTS OF THE
BOARD COULD YOU PROVIDE A LITTLE
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT.
THE TYPE OF OUT REACHING NEW
BOTH TO EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS.
YES --
BECAUSE THE REGIONAL STAFF --
IT IS OUT ON THE FRONT LINES AND
IN THE FIELDS THEY'D DO OUTREACH
CONTINUOUSLY IN THOSE EFFORTS
HAVE REALLY INCREASED WITH THE
ADDITIONAL STAFF APPROVED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR.
AND THAT'S ALWAYS ON GOING I'M
HERE IN SACRAMENTO WE I
PERSONALLY HAVE NOT ONLY GONE
OUT TO THE FIELDS AND TALKED TO
THE WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS.
BUT I ALSO REGULARLY I MEET WITH
SINCE I'VE SPOKEN.
TO THE WESTERN GROWERS BUNCH AND
I'VE MET WITH THE FRESH FRUIT
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MORTON
MULTIPLE OCCASIONS --
SO WHERE EVER FORM WE ARE ASKED
TO T. OR INVITED TO GO I'VE
ALWAYS TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO
NOT ONLY --
AND FORM AN EDUCATED FARMWORKERS
BUT ALSO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THAT THE EMPLOYER COMMUNITY HAS
AS WELL.
THANK YOU IN WITH RESPECT TO
SOME OF THAT OUT OF REACH HE
MENTIONED.
RECRUITMENT OF AN INDIGENOUS
LANGUAGE STAFF PERSON HOW DOES
THE BOARD AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL.
ACCOMMODATE OUR MULTI LINGUAL.
FARMWORKER WORKFORCE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SO THE MAJORITY OF THE WORKERS
THAT WE ARE SERRANO ARE SPANISH
SPEAKERS AND NEARLY ALL OF OUR
STAFF IN THE REGIONAL OFFICES
SPEAK SPANISH.
A WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST ALSO
ANOTHER EMPLOYEE THAT SPOKE --
AND MISSED ECHO --
AND SHE WAS RECRUITED BY ANOTHER
LABOR AGENCY ELEMENTS OF THIS
MOST RECENT HIGHER.
IS TO HAVE A MORE PERMANENT
PRESIDENT SO THAT THEY CAN.
RELATE BECAUSE A LOT OF IT IS
ALSO CULTURALLY BASED AND OUR OR
OUR EMPLOYEES NEED WITH THE INTO
IN ORDER TO BUILD THAT TRUST AND
SORT OF BRIDGE THAT GAP THAT
OCCURS WITH THOSE COMMUNITIES SO
ON OUT IN THE REGIONS THAT IS.
THAT IS HOW WE YOU KNOW WE
ADDRESS.
THINKING YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
ASKING OF A SIMILAR QUESTION TO
THE CANDIDATE FOR THE WORKERS
COMP --
DIRECTOR THE WORKERS COMP
AGENCY.
A AND THE CHALLENGE OF OFTEN --
THE LESSER EDUCATED WORKFORCE
IMMIGRANT WORKFORCE --
NOT MANY NOT ENGLISH SPEAKING
[inaudible]
A DO YOU FIND IT THAT SUMMER NOT
AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS OR FEAR
THAT THE EXERCISE OF THEIR
RIGHTS CAN LEAD.
TO JOB LOSSES ORDER DEPORTATION.
YES -- IT WE
DIDN'T WE HELD OUR STATEWIDE
HEARINGS ON WE HEARD DIRECTLY
FROM EMPLOYEES.
THAT IN FACT THAT WAS A VERY
REAL FEAR AND THAT WAS EVEN
PREVIOUS TO SOME OF THEM ARE
RECENT FEDERAL.
CHANGES AND THAT LED US TO
DEVELOP OTHER WAYS TO REACH OUT
TO A LOT OF THE COMMUNITIES AND
WE THAT'S WHY WE CREATED SOME
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS
THAT ARE BOTH IN SPANISH AS WELL
AS IN -- MR
ECHO.
SO THAT WE COULD REACH OUT
BECAUSE MANY HAVE THEY DON'T
HAVE A WRITTEN LANGUAGE IT WOULD
ALLOW US TO GET OUT ONTO THE
AIRWAVES IN ORDER TO INFORM
PEOPLE AND PART OF THE THAT IS.
THAT IT THE INFORMATION THAT'S
CONTAINED IN THAT SAYS THAT IN
FACT IMMIGRATION STATUS IS NOT
IN FACT --
RELEVANT TO YOUR RIGHTS UNDER
THE ALARY.
AND IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT IN
LABOR MANAGEMENT RELATIONS AND
DECISIONS OF WHETHER IT'S THE
AYLER BEER THEN AND NOW ARE
BEING.
THERE'S WINNERS AND LOSERS AND
NOT EVERYBODY'S HAPPY WITH EVERY
DECISION --
I'VE NEVER ISSUED A DECISION
WHERE.
EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY THAT'S
CORRECT BLOOM FATHER YOU DID I
THINK PERCENT IN YOUR OPENING
STATEMENT THAT.
OF THIRTY THREE APPEALS TO
DECISIONS THAT YOU'VE BEEN
INVOLVED WITH ONLY ONE HAS BEEN
OVERTURNED BY AN APPELLATE
COURT.
IS THAT ACCURATE PECTIN FINAL
RESOLUTION THAT WAS THAT WAS THE
ONE CASE.
AND I KNOW OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE ME RAISE SOME OF THIS
SIN WE'VE WE'VE RECEIVED SOME
CORRESPONDENCE FROM --
PARTICULAR EMPLOYER IN GROUP OF
WORKERS -- I
DON'T KNOW TO THE EXTENT YOU
FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT
THAT CASE DO YOU ARE YOU WERE
STRAINED IN WHAT YOU CAN TALK
ABOUT IN YEAR.
JUDICIAL ROLE AS A MEMBER
THEY'LL ARMY.
AND THAT THAT IS CORRECT
ACCOUNTING GAUGE IN THE
DISCUSSION OF THE MERITS OF THAT
CASE -- OR
AT ANY CASE THAT IS BEFORE THE
BOARD BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
EXPORTATION.
AND WE HAVE HAD.
MANY REQUESTS FOR RECUSE UL'S
BASED UPON THOSE TYPES OF
DISCUSSION SO I WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO AND TO ENGAGE IN THAT OTHER
THAN PROCEDURAL.
PROCEDURALLY ABOUT CASES RIGHT
INSERTED EXTENT YOU ARE ABLE TO
SPEAK ABOUT IT.
A PENDING CASE --
FROM THE GEAR ONE FARM CASE IS
THAT STILL IN LITIGATION
[inaudible]
VERY MUCH.
AND SO THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE
OF A CASE WHERE THERE ARE
RESTRAINTS ON YOUR ABILITY TO
TALK ABOUT.
SUBSTANCE CONTENT OR DECISIONS
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE THAT'S
CORRECT.
IN NINETEEN BY NO WE SEE THIS
NOT JUST.
PEOPLE IN YOUR POSITION ANA.
ANNAN AND JUDY KATORI BOARD LIKE
SAILOR MEAN BUT ANY SITTING
JUDGE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
--
JUDGES OFTEN FACE ELECTIONS
THEMSELVES KNOWN.
A OR EVEN FACE RECALLS BUT
THEY'RE UNABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE
SUBSTANCE OF SPECIFIC CASES AND
CERTAINLY.
CANNOT TALK ABOUT PENDING CASES
THAT.
A FAIR STATEMENT THAT'S CORRECT
BLOOM.
A I THINK I'M IN A DIFFERENT FOR
NOW TO MY COLLEAGUES --
I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE I KNOW YOU'RE.
IN A TOUGH POSITION OF LOOKING
AT EACH CASE ON ITS MERITS AND
IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY IN.
JUST ABOUT EVERY CASE DECISION.
YOU HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT.
MAY BE PLEASED WITH THAT
DECISION AND SOME PEOPLE WHO
MAYBE.
DISSATISFIED WITH THAT POSITION.
RATE IT'S NOT UNUSUAL --
TO FOR PARTIES TO THEIR
DISAGREEMENT WITH THE DECISION
OF THE BOARD --
THROUGH LETTERS AND LIKE RECEIVE
THEM OVER THE YEARS THAT I'VE
BEEN ON THE BOARD I RECEIVE
LETTERS FROM [inaudible]
UNIONS EMPLOYERS WORKERS
EXPRESSING THE FACT THAT THEY
HAVE DISAGREED WITH THE DECISION
OF THE BOARD.
I GUESS JUST AS A FINAL QUESTION
IN THIS MOMENT.
COULD YOU SHARE YOUR PHILOSOPHY.
IN THAT POSITION IS FOR OF BEING
A FINDER OF FACT APPLYING LONG
ARTIFACT DO YOU HAVE ANY
PARTICULAR GUIDING PHILOSOPHY.
NOT IN THAT ROLE OF HOW YOU
APPROACH EACH AND EVERY CASE.
YES I'M --
MY JOB IS NOT TO BRING MY
PERSONAL ON FULL OF FOR MY
PERSONAL SORT OF EXPERIENCE ARE
BELIEVED.
THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I
LOVE ABOUT THE LAW.
I DO IN FACT BELIEVE IN THE
MISSION AND THE PURPOSE OF THE
LRA AND THAT IS ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY I THOUGHT
APPOINTMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
MY ROLE IS TO IMPLEMENT THAT
LAW.
AND TO THAT EXTENT WE HAVE TO
FOLLOW.
ANALOG BE PRECEDENT WE HAVE TO
FOLLOW THE STATUTE --
THE REGULATIONS PAST PRESIDENT
OF THE LRP.
AND BEYOND THAT I HAVE THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE RECORD THAT I AM
GIVEN.
AND IN EVERY CASE I HAVE TO USE
NOT ONLY.
A LOT EXCITED BUT THE FACTS IN
THE RECORD.
IN ORDER TO MAKE A DETERMINATION
THAT HAS TO WITH I MEAN.
IT WOULD DO SERVE NO PURPOSE OF
I WAS ISSUING DECISIONS.
I COULDN'T CONTRIBUTE TO
BUILDING A LOT.
SO MICHAEL IS TO BUILD DECISIONS
THAT WILL IN FACT SERVE AS A
FOUNDATION.
FOR OTHER PORTS IN THE FUTURE
AND FOR THE WORKERS AND
EMPLOYERS THAT.
THAT IT'S THERE TO SERVE THOUGH.
I VIEW IT AS I AM TRYING TO GET
IT RIGHT BASED UPON THE LAW AND
THE FACTS EVERY TIME.
THANK YOU A HANOI SAID FINAL
A FINAL FINAL QUESTION
[inaudible]
A WOULD YOU CONSIDERED
INAPPROPRIATE TO BE ASKED TO
COMMENT ON THE SPECIFIC VOTE
COUNT IN A PARTICULAR CASE THAT
STILL PENDING IN LITIGATION.
I COULD NOT COMMENT ABOUT A LIE
CASE BEFORE THE BOARD ON ANY
MATTER IN ANY SUBJECT MATTER.
THANK YOU AN AGAIN APPRECIATE
YOUR SERVICE AND FOR BEING HERE
TODAY THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU CENTER FOR MINING
SENATOR CANNELLA.
THEY CAN APPROACH HIM APPRECIATE
THE SET UP BY.
MR MONEY HERE BUT I'M STILL
GONNA AT ALL JUST MAKE
STATEMENTS IF YOU'LL FEEL
COMFORTABLE AND ANSWERING
QUESTIONS.
BUT FIRST UP WHEN YOU SAY THAT
YOU'VE BEEN OVERTURNED ONE TIME
BY THE APPELLATE COURT.
I WAS AT THE GRAVEL CASE WAS AT
A DIFFERENT CASE WITH A
DIFFERENT CASE DID YOU APPEAL
THAT TO THE STATE SUPREME COURT.
YOU DO NOT WHITE INTO APPEAL
FURTHER.
AND THE CASE WAS ON THE FIFTH
DCA BY OF IT SO JUST LIKE IN
EXPLAINED THE FARM FAMILY
MEMBERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE
IN AN ELECTION.
AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT A FOSTER
CHILD WAS --
A CHILD FOR PURPOSES OF THE THE
ACT AND THE FIFTY CA --
UPHELD ART DECISION UPSIDE THAT
THAT BUT CHILD BUT THE A FOSTER
CHILD AND THE FIFTH DISTRICT
COURT OF APPEAL UPHELD THE
DISCIPLINE.
UPHOLDERS EXCEPT TO THAT OUT
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A NARROW.
DEFINITION THAT WE HAD NEVER
SEEN.
IT NEVER SPIN SEEN BEFORE.
AND WE DECIDED NOT TO UTILIZE
OUR RESOURCES IN ORDER TO SIMPLY
AT THAT BECAUSE THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE
THROUGH REGULATION.
OKAY THAT SO I'M ASSUMING ON THE
GROUND CASE YOU ARE A COOK THINK
IN YOUR RESPONSE YOU SAID THAT
YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. TO TAKE
THIS TO THE SUPREME COURT HAVE
IT OVERTURNED IS THAT CORRECT
AYE WHICH I'M BUT GROWING CASELY
REFERRING TO THE ONE THAT YOU
DID WAS JUST AN OPINION ISSUED
THAT [inaudible]
ON SEE HERE MAY THIRTIETH FIT IT
OPENS ARE TWO SEPARATE CASES
THERE'S THE CASE THAT IS --
REGARDING TO TRAIN ME TO XIN
CONCILIATION AND THE CON
NATIONALITY OF IT THAT --
THAT HE HAS FILED FOR APPEAL AT
AT THE US SUPREME COURT BOCA --
TO KEEP YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY
IS IS THAT CASE THAT AT THE
SPRINT CORP WHO'S WINNING THAT
ISN'T THAT RIGHT IS ESTABLISHING
THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE
STATUTE OKAY.
HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION OR
THEY'RE GOING TO FEEL THIS
LATEST ONE TO THE SUPREME COURT
EXIT IT.
SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE LOST A LOT
ATTORNEY BUT WELL IT IF THERE
WAS AN APPEAL IT WOULD GO TO ON
THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT.
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN --
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILLTIME
BUT NO -- IN
FACT THE COURT RIGHT NOW RETAIN
STIR STICKS PORTS A WORD
CURRENTLY DISCUSSING NINE CLOSE
SESSION OKAY.
WHAT JUST IF I CAN READ FROM THE
OPINION HERE BRIEFLY --
SAYS HAVING REVIEWED THE ENTIRE
RECORD.
WE CONCLUDE THAT SEVERAL OF THE
UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE FINDINGS
RELIED ON BY THE BOARD WERE
UNSUPPORTED BY THE RECORD AS A
WHOLE.
A SKIP DEL LITTLE BIT.
THE DRASTIC REMEDY OF THROWING
OUT THE ELECTION INSTEAD CASE
SUCH AS THIS ONE WOULD APPEAR TO
BE EITHER ARBITRARY OR PUNITIVE
OR BOTH.
I E. UNNECESSARILY
DISENFRANCHISED IN THE EMPLOYEES
AS A PUNISHMENT FOR THE
EMPLOYERS WRONGDOING.
IN ESSENCE THE BOARD SO NARROWLY
FOCUSED ON PUNISHING THE
EMPLOYER.
THAT EFFECTIVELY LAW THAT
EFFECTIVELY LOST SIGHT OF THE
CORE LEAD OF STATUTORY VALUE THE
PROTECTING THE FARMWORKERS RIGHT
TO CHOOSE.
WHICH WAS ONE WHICH WAS AND IS A
FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BOARD'S
MISSION UNDER A EL ARE A SO THEN
IT FURTHER IN THE BACK IT SAYS.
HERE RATHER THAN COUNTING THE
BALLOTS IN ISSUING A TALLY.
THE BOARD HAS OPTED TO LEAVE THE
PARTIES AND THE PUBLIC
COMPLETELY IN THE DARK REGARDING
THAT INFORMATION.
HAS RECOGNIZED THEM TO SAY THIS
WRONG AND KATE AS OF THE BOARDS
REFUSA TO ISSUE A TALLY HAS
DEPRIVED GROW ONE OF AN ADEQUATE
REMEDY.
UNDER THE TECHNICAL REFUSAL TO
BARGAIN --
TO BARGAIN PROCESS.
THERE'S A NOTE DOWN HERE.
WE FIND THE BOARD SECRETIVE
APPROACH TROUBLING ESPECIALLY IN
LIGHT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLE.
THAT OPEN AND TRANSPARENT
GOVERNMENT ARE AN ESSENTIAL
CHECK AGAINST ARBITRARY EXERCISE
OF OFFICIAL POWER.
SOMETHING SEEMS GREATLY A MISS
WHEN A STATUTORY ELECTION
PROCESS HAS BEEN COMMENDED AND
SECRET BALLOT VOTES HAVE BEEN
DULY CAST BY THE WORKERS.
BUT ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
ELECTION AYE EE THE VOTE TALLY.
IS SUPPRESSED OR CONCEALED BY
THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY ENTRUSTED
WITH THE STATUTORY PROCESS SO
PRECIOUS READING FROM THE
OPINION.
IT'S CONCERNING TO ME QUITE
FRANKLY AS AS A SUPPORTER OF
LABOR I PERSONALLY AND IN OPREME
INJURES LOCAL THREE I OWN THE
COMPANY.
MY EMPLOYEES WERE IN THE UNION.
AND THEIR NEW UNION LAW
[inaudible]
THIS WHOLE.
GRETA ONE THING JUST SEEMS VERY
CONCERNING TO MEET AND SO
[inaudible]
I HOPE [inaudible]
THAT.
THE BOARD WILL HELP THE VOTES.
JUST KILL IT THE BOARD.
THE HEALER BE ASKED TO HAVE THE
ELECTION HELD.
THEY VOTED AND THEN THE THE
VOTES WERE IMPOUNDED AND AND I
HOPE I THINK THEY WANT TO BE
DESTROYED HOPEFULLY NOT
DESTROYED I THINK TO BE IN
STORE.
BUT JUST THINK I STILL
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE CAN'T COUNT
THE VOTES IN AND LET THE WORKERS
DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO SO.
WITH THE COURT CASE IS SO YOU
SAY IT'S STILL PENDING IS
BECAUSE THE COURT HAS ASKED YOU
I THINK TO COUNT THE VOTES IS
THAT CORRECT.
THE CASE THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS
THEY ISSUE THEIR DECISION BUT
THEY RETAINED JURISDICTION OVER
IT FOR USUALLY IT'S THIRTY TO
FORTY DAYS.
OF WELL --
THAT TIME FOR APPEAL AND ALL OF
THAT A LOT OF THAT THEY THEN
THEY TRANSFER JURISDICTION BACK
TO THE BOARD.
OKAY AND THAT THAT'S I'M IT IS
TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE BOARD
COULD YOU THEN COMMENT ON ON THE
CASE MANNER SENSE UNDER
LITIGATION YOU HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL BUT WHAT'S IS DIRECTED
BACK TO THE BOARD WHAT HAPPENS.
AND THEN THE BOARD WOULD MAKE IT
IS A DECISION.
ADMINISTRAR ZIPPING IT WAS
APPEALED THAT IT WOULDN'T COME
BACK TO US UNTIL AFTER THAT
SHARON AND THEN THE BOARD MAKES
A DECISION ABOUT WHAT TO DO ONCE
WHEN IT'S REMANDED [inaudible]
OKAY.
WELL SO AGAIN SOME OF MY
CONCERNS AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T
COMMENT ON IT BUT A FOR CONTRACT
I I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH YOU HAVE
TO HAVE YOU THINK THEY DO A
GREAT JOB AND AND I MEAN LIKE
SUPPORT UNIONS AS A WHOLE BUT
AND WHEN WE LOOK.
AT SOMETHING THAT THE OF A I
GUESS THE VOTE WAS WAS CAST IN
THE NINETIES.
TO BE PART OF THE U. OF W. NO
CONTRACT.
WAS NEGOTIATED I THINK THAT YOU
HAVE TO HAVE YOU KNOW I THINK
THE ADMITTED.
CUT WALKED AWAY FOR TWENTY
YEARS.
CAME BACK AND SAID LOOK WE WHAT
WERE THE UNION REPRESENTING TO
THE WORKERS.
WE WANT TO NEGOTIATE.
SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BACK TO THE
BOARD ULTIMATELY UNDER THIS SPAM
MC YEAR WHATEVER THE MACINNES.
AND AND YOU FORCED A CONTRACT ON
THE WAY.
THEY THEY VOTED TO AYE I THINK
IT WAS A VOTE TO DECERTIFY THE
UNION.
AND THEN THE BALLOTS WERE UPHELD
I JUST.
I HOPE YOU CAN SEE.
OR SOME MIGHT SAY.
THIS IS NOT FAIR MERE CAN YOU
CAN YOU AT LEAST SEE THAT
PERSPECTIVE WHERE.
THE VOTERS VOTED AND THE VOTES
WERE COUNTED AT THAT THEY WOULD
THINK THAT THAT'S NOT FAIR.
I'M NOT GONNA DISCUSS OKAY.
ERIC.
I GUESS WOULD BE IF IF IN ANY
OTHER ELECTION VOTES WERE KICK
UBER CASTS TO TO LET'S SAY THE
VOTES WERE CAST TO FORM A UNION.
AND THE BALLOTS WERE IMPOUNDED
AND NOT VOTED I I THINK THERE
WOULD BE AN UPRISING LIKE WE'VE
NEVER SEEN PROBABLY BLED BY THE
L. R. V. QUITE FRANKLY SO.
WELL MOVE ON A THERE IS A
PERCEPTION THAT THE A OR B. IS
BIASED THIS IS JUST A GENERAL
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CASE.
IS BIASED TOWARDS FARMWORKERS IN
THE UNITED FARM WORKERS UNION.
AS A BOARD MEMBER HOW DO YOU
RESPOND TO THAT CLAIM.
AND WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT
PERCEPTION A EXISTS.
A WELL I AM WELL I I WILL
RESPOND TO IT IS AND IT'S THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN SAID
REPEATEDLY OVER MANY OVER MANY
YEARS AND AND RESPONSE IN FACT
IN TWENTY SIXTEEN A REVIEW WAS.
WAS DONE --
AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE
NUMBERS WHICH SOMETHING ABOUT WE
HADN'T.
EVER DONE BEFORE SO AND I THINK
IT MIGHT UNFUNDED --
AND IN FACT THE PERCENTAGES WORK
WORD A PRETTY EQUAL I AM IN
ELECTION AND BOTH YOU OP CASES
THAT CAME OUT. TO BE ABOUT 47%
40% AND THEN THERE WERE THOSE
CASES WHERE THE DECISION WITH
MIXED.
FOR BOTH THE EMPLOYER AND THE
UNION.
SO -- THE
NUMBERS DON'T SUPPORT THAT IN
FACT WHEN BOTH THEM ELECTION AND
YOU WILL P. CASES BUT IT HAS
BEEN.
EVEN AS FAR AS THE HOW MANY
CASES ROUGHLY BASED ON THOSE
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS
AND BALLPARK IS IT TEN THOUSAND
OR IS IT ONE HUNDRED ALL NOW
IT'S NO GET IT'S MUCH SMALLER
THAN.
MUCH SMALLER THAN THAT
[inaudible]
OKAY GREAT --
HOW'RE CASES BROUGHT TO THE
ATTENTION OF THE L. OR BE A WHAT
PERCENT CASES ARE BROUGHT TO THE
BOARD'S ATTENTION FROM THE UFW
VERSUS NON UFW CASES --
WELL SO THE SUBJECT.
SO WITH THE CASE OF COMMAND THEY
COME INTO OUR REGIONAL OFFICE IN
THAT WOULD BE THE GENERAL
COUNSEL'S JURISDICTION BECAUSE
SHE'S A SEPARATE APPOINTED
AUTHORITY AND THERE'S A FIREWALL
BETWEEN THE TWO AND THOSE CAN BE
FILED BY --
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS AND
UNIONS --
OVERWHELMINGLY AND WE HAVE SEEN
AN INCREASE BECAUSE THERE HASN'T
BEEN MUCH ELECTION ACTIVITY IN A
CONCERTED ACTIVITY WHICH IS
INDIVIDUAL MUST WORK ORDERS HAVE
BEEN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES
BRINGING CASES --
AND FILING CHARGES.
SO THE GENERAL COUNSEL MAKES HE
DECISION DECIDES TO ISSUE A
COMPLAINT THAT GOES TO OUR
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY WHO OVERSEES
THE JUDGES.
HE SETS UP FOR HEARING THE OJ
THAT HAS TO MAKE A DECISION SO
BY THE TIME IT GETS TO THE BOARD
BOTH.
THE GENERAL COUNSEL AN
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE HAS
MADE A RULING AND THEN WE THEN
REVIEW THE CASE DE NOVO BUT
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY CREDIBILITY
DETERMINATIONS AND ALL OF THAT
THAT HAS BEEN.
LAID OUT OF AND SO.
II DON'T KNOW AS FAR AS THE
EMPLOYERS VERSUS GROUP AND I
MEAN THERE'S IT'S IT'S VERY MUCH
A YOU KNOW A MIXED I WOULD SAY
THAT IT'S IT'S PUBLIC OVER WITH.
WELL ONLY --
MORE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES THAN
ANYTHING.
HEALTH AND AYE WHAT'S UP THE
COMPLAINTS OF THEY MAKE
TYPICALLY AT WEEK IT'S
RETALIATION --
NO ISSUE WORKERS ARE TALKING A
LABOR ISSUES OR SOMETHING SEEN
AND FOR EXAMPLE IF THEY HAVE
DON'T GET PAID FOR TRAVEL TIME
OR WAIT TIME.
LOVE IF THERE WERE UNSAFE
CONDITIONS AND THEY DECIDED THEY
WERE NOT GOING TO WORK IN THOSE
CONDITIONS AND THEN THEY WERE
FIRED AS A RESULT --
THERE ARE ONES WHERE THEY TO
START.
PAID.
OF MINT SO IT ANY TYPE OF
WORKING CONDITION THAT WE HEAR
ABOUT IN OTHER LABOR AGENCIES
WHEN IT HAPPENS WITH A GROUP OF
PEOPLE AND THEN THERE'S SOME
ACTION AGAINST THEM.
THEN IT FALLS UNDER OUR
JURISDICTION.
SO WHAT WHAT THE EMPLOYEE
COMPLAINS ABOUT UNSAFE WORKING
CONDITIONS RETALIATION.
AND IT'S A LARGE COMPANY.
DO YOU JUST LOOK AT THAT ONE
CASE BECAUSE I'VE ATTEMPTING TO
ONE IS PROBABLY HAPPENING TO
MANY RIGHT.
WELL THERE IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO
EVEN.
BE ACCEPTED BY THE GENERAL
COUNSEL'S OFFICE AND HAVE TO BE
CONSIDERED ACTIVISM HAS BEEN OF
ACTIVITY ON BEHALF OF AT LEAST
ONE OTHER.
EMPLOYEE AND AND SOMETIMES IT'S
A GROUP SOMETIMES IT IS JUST A
FEW OF THEM --
AND THERE YOU INVESTIGATE.
THE FACTS OF THAT.
AND GET THIS ISN'T SOMETHING
THAT WE DO BUT HER THEY
INVESTIGATE THE FACTS
SURROUNDING THOSE EMPLOYEES AND
THE WITNESSES TO THOSE.
HER ACTIONS AND SIMILAR TO LIKE
TO IT DA AND INVESTIGATIVE
OFFICE RIGHT WOULD DO.
BUT WOULD YOU TAKE ACTION WE GET
I GUESS MY CONCERN WOULD BE.
THIS HAPPENS TO IT'S MAY BE
HAPPENING TO TWENTY TWO RIGHT SO
WOULD YOU TAKE ACTION AGAINST
THAT EMPLOYER TO MAKE SURE THAT.
THAT STOPS HAPPENING WOULD YOU
EDUCATE THE REST OF THE
EMPLOYEES OF WHAT THEIR RIGHTS
ARE.
YOU HOW HOW DO YOU KEEP IT FROM
SPREADING TOOK TO MORE EMPLOYEES
ARE HOW DO YOU.
DEAL WITH THIS SO WHAT IF IT HAS
SPREAD THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN DEAL
WITH THAT AS WELL.
SO I NOTICE AND BELIEVE ME THERE
ARE SITUATIONS WHERE SOMETHING
HAPPENS AND IT CAN BE REMEDIED.
WITHOUT ANYTHING HOOKING FILED
OR ANY LITIGATION BECAUSE OF ITS
METHODICAL WHATEVER YOU'RE RIGHT
YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THOSE
DISCUSSIONS AND TRY TO RESOLVE
THOSE.
BUT IF IT ACTUALLY GETS TO THE
POINT WHERE IT IS HEARD BY AN
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE AND IT
DOES COME TO THE BOARD PART OF
WHAT WE DO IN OUR REMEDIES.
IS WE DO NOTICE REMEDIES AND PUT
OUT TO THE ENTIRE WORFORCE OKAY
SO THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT
THE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND WHAT
THEIR RIGHTS ARE RIGHT OKAY IT'S
GREAT.
SO WHAT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
EXIST RELATED TO INVESTIGATING
WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINTS AND
PROTECTING WHISTLE BLOWERS FROM
RETALIATION.
SO THAT WAS OF A COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE THE BOARD AND WE'VE
LOOKED AT DOING A AN AUDIT.
OF HAVE YOU MAY ALL BE SEE WHAT
WHISTLEBLOWERS BE PROTECTED HAVE
YOU MADE ANY INTERNAL CHANGES
WITH HOW YOU GUYS DO BUSINESS TO
PROTECT WHISTLEBLOWERS.
THE I MEAN THERE ARE THERE ARE
STATE WIDE PROTECTIONS IN THERE
ARE YET THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE AND
AND ALL OF THAT THAT YEAH
INVESTIGATE.
THOSE WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINTS
AND AND I BELIEVE ONE WAS ONE
DAY WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN FILED
THEY HAVE DONE SO.
WELL THERE WAS A THERE WAS A
ISSUE BETWEEN IT WAS SET
RETALIATION BETWEEN A FORMER
STAFF MEMBER AND THE L. R.
BEARDS ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT ME
THAT I THINK IT WAS.
JUST RECENTLY RIGHT SO.
I I I DID.
DEBIAN NAME I WOULD BE ABLE TO
SHOW MORE OKAY.
SO SO I GUESS WE ARE SAYING IS
YOU JUST RELY ON WHATEVER THE
STATEWIDE STANDARDS ARE YOU
HAVEN'T MADE THE BOARD HAS NOT
MADE ANY INTERNAL CHANGES.
WITHIN THE L. R. BE TO PROTECT
WHISTLEBLOWERS I MEAN WE HAVE A
WHISTLEBLOWER.
TAX POLICIES THAT JUST LIKE ALL
STATE AGENCIES IN ORDER TO
PROTECT WHISTLEBLOWERS.
WE'LL GET YOU SOME MORE
INFORMATION ON THAT PARTICULAR
CASE.
LITTLE CONCERNING THAT YOU
DON'T.
DON'T KNOW THAT BUT OKAY.
A SO WE TALKED ABOUT --
YOUR MEN THE RULES COMMITTEE YOU
SET YOUR MOST IMMEDIATE GOAL.
FOR THE NEXT TERM IS TO ENSURE
THE MANDATORY MEDIATION AND
CONCILIATION STATE STATUE.
IS SUSTAINED AT THE U. S.
SUPREME COURT.
AND THE GROWING FARMING CASE AND
TO PREVAIL AND NMC RELATED CASES
AT THE SUPERIOR COURT APPELLATE
COURT.
IS IT THE ROLE OF THE LRB
COMMISSIONERS TO ENSURE THAT A
STATE STATUTE A SUSTAINED AT THE
US SUPREME COURT LEVEL.
THE BOARD'S CHARGED WITH
IMPLEMENTING THE ACT SO WHATEVER
AMENDMENTS ARE THEN MADE TO THAT
ACT WERE CHARGED WITH.
DRAFTING THE REGULATIONS TO
IMPLEMENT IT.
ENFORCING IT AND ULTIMATELY
UPHOLDING THE AX SO TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE AGENCY IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFENDING THE
STATUTE YES [inaudible]
OKAY. FOR IT WILL THAT THE
SUMMIT QUESTIONS THANK YOU
[inaudible]
THE THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
YOU KNOW.
DECADES AGO ON MY USE --
I SPENT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME IS
OF FIELD ATTORNEY AT THE
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
REGION TWENTY ONE IN LOS ANGELES
IT WAS ACTUALLY.
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE IN THE
FLEDGLING YEARS OF THE
AGRICULTURAL LABOR OF
AGRICULTURAL LABOR RELATIONS
BOARD SO I'VE.
NOTED WITH INTEREST TELL THE
BOARD HAS INVOLVED A OVER THE
YEARS AND FRANKLY SOME OF THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT I WORKED WITH
IN LOS ANGELES WERE INSTRUMENTAL
IN.
DESIGNING THE INITIAL RULES THE
BORG AT LEAST AT THAT TIME
OPERATED UNDER.
THAT'S HOW OLD I AM.
IT I DID NOTE AT THE TIME AND
I'VE NOTED SENSE THAT THERE'S
NOTHING MORE HEATED --
THAN DISPUTES.
OF THAT INVOLVED EMPLOYERS AND
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AND
EMPLOYEES CERTAINLY BEFORE THE
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
AND IT SOUNDS AS IF THE SAME.
THING APPLIES TO THE
AGRICULTURAL LABOR RELATIONS
BOARD.
AS WELL SO WHY I THANK YOU FOR
YOUR ATTEMPT TO TRY TO NAVIGATE
THAT MINEFIELD AND APPLY THE
LAW.
APPARENTLY IN A FAIR AND
REASONABLE BASIS A AS A MEMBER
OF THE BOARD AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR PRAYER SERVICE. ONE THING
THAT HIS.
INTERESTED ME AS I'VE HAD A
LITTLE BIT OF CONTACT SINCE I'VE
BEEN APPEAR WITH THE BOARD.
AS YOUR CASELOAD --
DECREASES I NOTE IN OUR MATERIAL
THAT WE BUDGETED ABOUT FORTY
SEVEN POSITIONS FOR THE BOARD
I'M TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW
MANY FIELD ATTORNEYS AND
EXAMINERS YOU HAVE WHO ACTUALLY.
HANDLE REPRESENTATION ELECTIONS
AND FOR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES.
AND OBJECTIONS FOLLOWING THOSE
ELECTIONS AND RELATED.
MATERIALS AT SOMETHING YOU CAN.
LEAVE THAT OF IT THEY HAVE SIXTY
THREE IF THE SENSORS ABOUT
FIFTEEN BOARD MEMBERS OF AND
FIFTEEN AT THE BOARD LEVEL.
ASIDE I THINK WE HAVE. THIRTY
FIVE FORTY THAT OF THE GENERAL
COUNSEL. FORTY YEAR STAFF
MEMBERS OUT OF THE REGION'S
PROMISES AGAIN I HAVE A FOLLOW
UP QUESTION IT'S NOT ANYTHING
YOU HAVE TO OF PROVIDE TODAY BUT
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING
FROM YOU.
ARE SOMEONE AT SOME POINT ABOUT
IT IN AND THAT IS WHAT IS THE
AVERAGE CASELOAD. FOR A FIELD
EXAMINER INFIELD ATTORNEY--
IN THE ALR BE OPERATION GIVEN
[inaudible]
OF THE DECREASE IN THE CASELOAD
OVER THE YEARS FROM NINETEEN
SEVENTY SIX TO TODAY.
AND OVER THE ONE THING I CAN'T
SPEAK TO JUST FROM BEING OVER ON
THE BOARD FOR SO LONG AS THAT.
SO THERE WAS THE HEIGHT AND THEN
--
WE HAD.
A LOT OF THERE WAS A LOT OF
STUFF OBVIOUSLY BACK THEN WHEN
THEY WERE PROCESSING I'M
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CASES.
AND THEN --
THE STAFFING DECREASE
DRAMATICALLY SO WE WENT.
ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN AND SO
IT'S BEEN A SLOW.
BUILD ITEMS OVER THE LAST I
THINK. TEN YEARS --
THAT HAS COINCIDED ACTUALLY WITH
AN INCREASE IN WORK THAT WE ARE
EXPERIENCING BOTH IN --
THE NUMBER OF CHARGES THAT ARE
BEING FILED OUT IN THE REGIONS
NOTHING.
CLOSE TO WHAT WAS.
HAPPENED IN THE INITIAL YEARS OF
THE ACT.
OF BUT IN COMPARISON TO SAY.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO --
THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN
BOTH CHARGES IN THE NUMBER OF
COMPLAINTS THAT THE GENERAL
COUNSEL IS ISSUING AS WELL AS IN
THE PORTS WORK.
DO YOU ANTICIPATE AN INCREASE IN
YOUR WORKLOAD IN THE FUTURE
GIVEN.
THE THE DEVELOPMENTS WITH
RESPECT TO CANNABIS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA MOST RECENTLY IN.
IF SO HOW DO YOU PLAN TO HANDLE
THAT INCREASE.
I HONESTLY THINK WE WILL HAVE
TIME TO PLAN FOR IT BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW IT REALLY IT SEEMS TO
BE IN IT'S IN ITS INFANCY.
OF IT HAS BEEN THERE'S ONLY --
IN LESS THAN 1% OF THE CANNABIS
CULTIVATE CULTIVATORS ARE
THOUGHT.
THE LICENSING THROUGH THE CDFA
IN THE PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN SET
OUT IN THE STATUTE SO.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME
TIME FOR OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO
DECIDE TO MOVE FROM WHAT IN A
LEGAL MARKET INTO A LEGAL.
MARKET AND TO SEE IF WE ARE
WORKLOAD.
AS A RESULT --
AND SO I ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL
SEE SOME OF THAT [inaudible]
COMING.
DO YOU HAVE FIELD OFFICE
OPERATIONS IN THE AREAS THAT TO
AT LEAST HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN.
ARE CANNABIS GROWING REGIONS IN
THE STATE.
YES MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE
ARE INCREASE GOING ON OUT IN THE
REGIONS.
OKAY AND THEN ONE LAST QUESTION
YOU KNOW I I I I NOTED WITH
INTEREST IN REVIEWING THE
MATERIAL THAT THE BOARD HAS BEEN
OPERATING FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
NOW WITH TWO VACANCIES ON THE
BOARD AND I'M MY QUESTION IS
WHAT IF IMPACT IF ANY.
I HAVE THOSE VACANCIES HAD ON
THE BOARDS OPERATION.
A WELL I THINK UNLIKE OTHER
REPORTS AND EVERY CASE AND I
KNOW YOU KNOW THIS --
EVERY CASES REVIEW DO NOVO BY
EVERY BOARD MEMBER SO THAT WE
CAN HAVE AN EDUCATED VOTE GOING
FORWARD SO THERE ISN'T ANY.
IMPLICATIONS AS FAR AS REDUCING
THE WORKLOAD FOR ON INDIVIDUAL
BOARD MEMBERS.
AND FOR THE TIME WITH 90% OF THE
TIME I BEEN ON THE BOARD WE'VE
OPERATED WITH. THREE BOARD
MEMBERS.
OF AND ITS ALWAYS BEEN A WIDE
VARIETY OF PERSONAL [inaudible]
EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONAL
BACKGROUND SO IT'S REALLY LEAD
TO QUITE A DIVERSE DISCUSSION
AND DELIBERATIONS --
AND VIEWPOINTS SO I FEEL LIKE
WE'VE HAD A AYE WE'VE DONE A
GOOD JOB I GUESS OF WHAT OF THE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN ON THERE
AND IT TO REPRESENT SORT OF THE
VARYING PERSPECTIVES.
BUT AND I THINK LOOKING AT THE
DECISIONS THAT THAT HAVE COME
OUT OF THOSE THOSE SPORTS IN THE
FACT THAT THEY HAVE WITHSTOOD
SCRUTINY.
OF THE SORT OF A TESTAMENT TO
THAT.
OF AND SO.
YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY.
THE GOVERNOR'S CALL THAT AND I I
DO THINK WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB
WITH THE MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE
HAD OVER THE YEARS.
WELL I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SERVICE.
AGAIN THERE'S NOTHING MORE
DIFFICULT THAN TO BE A DECIDER.
IF THAT'S THE RIGHT WORD IN THE
LABOR EMPLOYMENT --
UNION ENVIRONMENT AS A MEMBER OF
WHETHER IT'S THE NATIONAL LABOR
RELATIONS BOARD OF THE
AGRICULTURAL LABOR RELATIONS
BOARD.
YOU WILL NEVER PLEASE EVERYBODY
AND IN MOST CASES WILL PLEASE
VERY MANY.
EYES A DIFFICULT JOB THANK YOU
FOR DOING IT AND CONGRATULATIONS
ON YOUR REAPPOINTMENT THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU SENATOR ROTH I'M GONNA
TURN TWO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
NOW AND I WOULD ASK THOSE IN
SUPPORT.
OF WE HAVE A MICROPHONE IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO COME UP.
GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR
ASSOCIATION IF IT'S RELEVANT AND
BRIEF COMMENT.
WITH THE CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION HERE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF THE REAPPOINTMENT A
BOARD MEMBER OF AARON HERNANDEZ
AND JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT
WE BELIEVE HER EXPERIENCE BEFORE
HER TIME ON THE BOARD HER TIMES.
IT'S BEEN THERE AND HER COMMENTS
TODAY REALLY LEAVES NO DOUBT
THAT SHE'S BOTH EXPERIENCED FAIR
AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WHEN IT COMES
TO THIS MISSION THAT.
WE BELIEVE IS JUST ABOUT THE
MOST IMPORTANT ONE THAT FACES
WORKERS THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
AND WE THINK THEY'RE NOWHERE IS
THERE A MORE IMPORTANT PLACE TO
PUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE KIND OF
CONFIDENCE AND WILLINGNESS TO
WORK WITH ALL SIDES WERE WILLING
TO STALL.
THEY ALL ARE BE AND ARE WE THINK
VERY MUCH WHICH THOSE QUALITIES
ARE TO REAPPOINT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT.

FEW PEOPLE HERE WHO WANT TO
SPEAK.
IF SO PLEASE COME FORWARD.
STATE YOUR NAME --
ASSOCIATION A FEW --
HAVE ONE AND BRIEFED WITH
BRIEFLY PLEASE THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR HRIS ABOUT US FOR THE
RECORD WITH CALIFORNIA FRESH FOR
ASSOCIATION.
AS THE RECORD INDICATED EARLIER
MR PARA HERNANDEZ AND HER BOARD
COLLEAGUES HAVE --
RECIPROCATED INVITATIONS OUT TO
FARMS HAVE TAKEN FORM TUMORS AND
IN FACT AS REPRESENT EMPLOYER
WE'VE ACTUALLY STOOD BACK IN
MANY CASES TO ALLOW --
DURING THOSE INTERACTIONS THE
BOARD MEMBERS ARE STEP EVEN ON
THE GENERAL COUNSEL SIDE TO TALK
TO FORM PLOYS TO GET EDUCATED
AND LEARN MORE ABOUT WAGES AND
WORKING CONDITIONS AND JUST.
THE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
HOWEVER I THINK AS BOTH SENATOR.
SHE IS ME I THINK IS MOST
UNDERMINING EARLIER AND SENATOR
ROTH MOST RECENTLY FRAMED.
AND HER ROLE THERE ARE WINNERS
AND LOSERS IN I THINK WE ALL
UNDERSTAND THAT WOULD ARGUE
AGAINST THE ROLE THAT SHE HAS A
JUDGE WITH WINNERS AND LOSERS.
HOW ARE WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
THE LOSER SHOULD BE
PREDETERMINED TO BE THE
EMPLOYEES AND IN THIS CASE?
AT LEAST AS IT RELATES TO THE
CASE BEFORE THE NLRB IN BEFORE
THE COURTS ON THE GROUND MATTER
EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN LOSERS Y..
WHETHER IT'S MANY WHETHER IT'S
MOST WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER IT'S
MAJORITY WHETHER IT'S A MINORITY
WHAT THEY WANT WE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT THEY'VE CHOSEN IN A
DECERTIFICATION ELECTION BECAUSE
THE BALLOTS HAVE BEEN COUNTED IN
SOME TO US I DON'T BELIEVE.
WE CAN MOVE FOR TODAY WHICH IN
SUPPORT OF MR ROBERT HERNANDEZ
WHICH IS THE CASE FOR YEARS AGO
FOUR YEARS AGO WE WERE HERE
TODAY SUPPORTING MR AMERICAN AND
BECAUSE OF THE OUT REACH THE
INTEREST THE ENGAGEMENT TO THE
INDUSTRY AND TO THE EMPLOYEE
COMMUNITY. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THEIR ISSUES AND INTEREST BUTTON
FAST FORWARDING TO TODAY AT THE
END OF THE DAY FOR US THE
CONCERN HAS THOUGHT ABOUT
WINNERS OR LOSERS.
IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT
IS THAT EMPLOYEES WANT AND THEN
DOING WHAT THEY CAN AS I'M
PUBLIC AGENTS ENTRUSTED TO
ACTUALLY PROTECT THAT AND PLACED
THAT INTO MOTION.
INTO US THAT HAS BEEN SORT OF
STRUCK DID IT IS NOT HAPPENING
AND FOR THOSE REASONS WE OPPOSE
TODAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IN EVENT THAT WE DO HAVE A NEED
FOR TRANSLATION WE DO HAVE A
TRANSLATOR ANDI ASSUME SHE WILL
COME FORWARD WHEN IT'S
DETERMINED NECESSARY.
OTHERWISE OF PLEASE COME FORWARD
YOUR NAME ASSOCIATION IF YOU
HAVE ONE AND COMMENTS RETHINK
YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS JESSE
RA HAAS AND I'M THE SPOKESPERSON
FOR PIC JUST AS IN CALIFORNIA
FARMWORKERS [inaudible]
FAMILIES IN THE INTEREST OF TIME
ALL KEEP THE POINT WE HAVE A LOT
OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE TRAVELED
FAR.
AND FIRST I'D LIKE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE FARMWORKERS WHO
REGARDLESS OF REGARDLESS OF
ANYONE'S PERSONAL FEELINGS
TOWARDS THIS ISSUE THEY CAME UP
HERE TO VOICE OUR OPINION AND I
ONE OF KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY'RE
HERE TODAY AND THANK THEM FOR
DOING SO.
I'M SO FIRST UPON [inaudible]
TERM.
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS
IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY
COME UP HERE ON THEIR OWN TIME
ALONE DOWN I MEAN SPEAK ON THE
ISSUE.
THAT HAS BEEN DOZENS OF PROTESTS
BY THOUSANDS OF LATINO IMMIGRANT
FARM WORKERS ACROSS THE STATE
FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS
[inaudible]
SORRY.
AND ALL THESE PROTESTS HAVE BEEN
FOR ONE SIMPLE REASON AND WE CAN
SIT HERE AND DEBATE OVER LAW
CASE LAW AND PENDING LITIGATION
BUT THE REALITY IS THIS.
IT'S THAT THESE FARMWORKERS OF
OVER THREE THOUSAND OF THEM ONE
THE SAME RIGHTS THAT ALL OTHER
WORKERS ACROSS THE STATE AND
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
HAVE TODAY.
THOSE SAME RIGHTS ETCETERA
TRAVIS FOUGHT FOR HE FOUGHT FOR
FARM WORKER RIGHTS AND FOR THE
SIMPLE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.
SIMPLE AMERICA TO CHOOSE.
LET THEM CHOOSE COUNTER VOTES
WHAT HARM CAN COME FROM THAT.
EFFECTIVE YOU READ THE OVER A
HUNDRED THIRTY PAGE DECISION
FROM THE FIFTH DISTRICT COURT OF
APPEALS.
IT'S ALL ABOUT COUNTING THE
VOTES THEY'RE NOT EVEN SAYING
CERTIFY THE RESULTS IF YOU STILL
WANT TO TAKE THIS TO THE STATE
SUPREME COURT AGAIN AND SPEND
MORE VALUABLE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
GO AHEAD IF YOU STILL WANT TO
DESTROY THEM.
AFTER YOU COUNT THEM GO AHEAD.
WILL VOTE AGAIN AS MANY TIMES AS
IT TAKES ANYWHERE YOU WANT
HOWEVER YOU WANT.
BUT WHAT CAN A REMEDY TO THE
CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION CAN COME.
IF THOSE VOTES ARE NEVER COUNTED
IF GOTS NATURE APPLY BRAKES AT
THE OFFICE A FIRE REPS.
YOU COULD NEVER REMEDY THAT TO
THE THOUSANDS OF LATINO
IMMIGRANT FARM WORKERS WHO VOTED
THEY'RE JUST SAYING COUNT THEM
LET US KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME
ONCE.
ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND BASIC
LABOR RELATIONS AND BASIC LABOR
LAW AND I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY BUT
I LOVE TO READ.
YOU WILL SEE THAT THROUGHOUT ALR
A AN A OR B. DECISIONS AND
SPECIALLY AND ALL OUR BI
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
DECISIONS.
BUT THE TYPICAL PROCEDURE YOU
COUNT THE VOTES.
YOU COULD DO HEARING PEOPLE FILE
OBJECTION TO GO FILE YOU'LL
PLEASE A WHOLE LEGAL PROCESS BE
COUNT VOTING LET THE PARTIES
KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS.
AND THEN YOU LITIGATED ON YOU TO
THE OTHER THINGS SO THE REAL
CORE HAS NOW SAID THAT AN ORDER
THE ALERT ME TO COUNT THE VOTES.
NO ONE HAS TO PRETEND THE
ELLERBEE SPEAKS FOR THESE
WORKERS I THINK IT'S VERY.
THE POINT IN COMMONSENSE NOW
THEY NEVER DID THE COURT HAS
MADE IT CLEAR COUNT THE VOTES
AND I'M TELLING YOU TODAY THAT
MRS RETURN AND THIS
WRONG.
TO WANT TO FORCE A CONTRACT ON
THE FARM WORKERS WITHOUT LETTING
THEM CHOOSE PERIOD.
IMAGINE IF BOMB.
YOUR OWN STAFFERS AND IS
BUILDINGS THAT DID NOT.
IF SOMETHING WAS FORCED UPON
THEM OR TO YOU FOR THAT MATTER
IMAGINE IF YOUR VOTES WERE NOT
COUNTED EVERY TWO OR FOUR YEARS.
IMAGINE OF OUR MILITARY
PERSONNEL ACROSS OVERSEAS THEIR
VOTES WERE NOT COUNTED.
WHY HOT WIRE THE DIFFERENT?
HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
YOU KNOW SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME HOW
CAN WE CAN VOTE UNDER THE NLRB
WE HEAR OTHER PACKING HOUSES AND
OTHER COMPANIES.
THAT THE VOTES ARE COUNTED WE
HEAR THAT OF THE NLRB WOULD
ADMINISTER THIS ELECTION OUR
VOTES WILL BE COUNTED.
