REAPPRAISAL OF THE RIGHT TO STRIKE IN CALIFORNIA

Abstract

In 1985 the California Supreme Court decided that public employees may legally strike if such a strike does not cause a threat to the health or safety of the public. This decision makes California the twelfth state to formally allow some public employee strikes. The present article reviews the arguments for and against these strikes, previous California law cases on the issue, and the state supreme court decision. A concluding section examines the potential impact of the ruling.
