Transportation network company drivers: labor relations: appeals

TNC drivers, driver organizations, and companies can seek appellate-court review of final labor-practice rulings. The law also requires the board to pursue enforcement when an uncomplied-with final order is brought to its attention.

What the law does ​

• Allows an aggrieved charging party, respondent, or intervenor to seek extraordinary relief in a Court of Appeal from a final board decision or order in a TNC-driver unfair-practice case.
• Excludes board decisions declining to issue a complaint from appeal.
• Requires petitions within 30 days in the appellate district where the dispute occurred.
• Authorizes the court to enforce, modify, or set aside a board order, while treating factual findings supported by substantial evidence as conclusive.
• Allows the board, after the appeal deadline, to seek enforcement in a Court of Appeal or local superior court.
• Requires the board to explain within 10 days why it has not sought enforcement and to seek it on a party's request if the order remains uncomplied with.

Who it affects ​

• Transportation network company drivers and their labor organizations.
• Transportation network companies accused of, or seeking remedies for, unfair labor practices.
• Parties and intervenors in Public Employment Relations Board unfair-practice cases.
