Gerawan Farming, Inc. v. Agricultural Labor Relations Board
Annotate this Case
After the Board issued a decision in which it held that the public does not have a constitutional right to attend mandatory mediation and conciliation (MMC) proceedings, Gerawan filed a declaratory relief action seeking a judicial declaration that the Board's decision violates the right of public access protected under the federal and state Constitutions. A Gerawan employee also intervened in the same action.
The Court of Appeal held that Gerawan lacked standing to challenge the Board's policy on First Amendment grounds. The court also held that there was no right of access under the federal and state Constitutions to on-the-record MMC proceedings. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
