54435. Nothing in subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 54431 requires any processor, handler, distributor, or agent of any such person, to negotiate over any specific period of time, or to agree upon price, terms of sale, compensation for commodities produced under contract, and other contract provisions relative to any commodity which any cooperative bargaining association represents. However, nothing in this section relieves the parties from the requirement to negotiate and bargain pursuant to subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 54431 or to comply with the procedures prescribed in Article 3.5 (commencing with Section 54451) if applicable.

(Amended by Stats. 1989, Ch. 510, Sec. 2.)
