(a)If a majority of the employees employed by a transit district in a unit appropriate for collective bargaining indicate a desire to be represented by a labor organization, then the board after determining pursuant to Section 95651 that the labor organization represents the employees in the appropriate unit, shall bargain with the accredited representative of those employees. Both parties shall bargain in good faith and make all reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the terms of a written contract governing wages, salaries, hours, working conditions, and grievance procedures.
(1)If a dispute arises over the terms of a written contract governing wages, salaries, hours, or working conditions that is not resolved by negotiations conducted in good faith between the board and the representatives of the employees, then the board and the representatives of the employees shall submit the dispute to an arbitration board. The decision of a majority of the arbitration board shall be final.
(A)The arbitration board shall be composed of two representatives of the transit board, two representatives of the labor organization, and a fifth member to be agreed upon by the representatives of the transit board and labor organization. If the representatives of the transit board and labor organization are unable to agree on the fifth member, then the names of five persons experienced in labor arbitration shall be obtained from the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service.
(B)The labor organization and the district shall, alternately, strike a name from the list supplied by the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The labor organization and the district shall determine by lot who shall first strike a name from the list. After the labor organization and the district have stricken four names, the name remaining shall be designated as the arbitrator.
(C)The transit board and labor organization shall each pay half of the cost of the impartial arbitrator.
(b)A contract or agreement shall not be made with any labor organization, association, group, or individual that denies membership on any basis listed in subdivision
(a)of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code. However, the organization may preclude from membership any individual who advocates the overthrow of the government by force or violence.
(c)The district shall not discriminate with regard to employment against any person on any basis listed in subdivision
(a)of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code, except as otherwise provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code.
