If you feel that you have been mistreated and your rights have been violated at work you can call us or visit one of our offices to speak with an ALRB staff member. We will talk to you about your situation and provide you information. If appropriate, we will help you file a charge, or we may help connect you with another agency. It is your choice to file a claim.

The ALRB is here to help you. We offer confidential consultations, and the decision is yours whether you want to file a claim. If so, we will help you to do so.

A case can result in a complaint, dismissal, settlement or withdrawal. 

If after an investigation the General Counsel finds there is evidence the employer violated the law they may file a complaint (a legal document) with the Agricultural Labor Relations Board. Depending on how the employer responds the complaint may result in an administrative law hearing (a hearing is similar to a trial). 

If the General Counsel does not find evidence that the employer violated the law, they may dismiss the charge. Charging parties may appeal dismissal of a charge. 

Many charges result in a settlement between the parties. A settlement can happen at any point in the process such as during an investigation, after a complaint has been filed, during a hearing or after a hearing before a decision has been issued.

If a charging party wishes to withdraw a charge, they may submit such a request to the Regional Director.

It is against the law for employers to retaliate against you. We’ll work with you throughout the investigation to provide you support and assistance and if you are retaliated against as a result of filing a charge.
