Collective bargaining in the public sector in California is regulated by a series of statutes. The major ones have the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) as their administrative agency. One of these laws covers UC and CSU and is known as HEERA, the Higher Education Employee-Employer Relations Act. Current law allows collective bargaining for student teaching assistants. However, research assistants are not covered.
Yesterday, the deadline for signing or vetoing bills, Gov. Brown vetoed a bill that would have extended collective bargaining rights to RAs.
You can read his veto explanation statement at:
