Brown Paddles His Canoe on Left, Then Right

Brown also rejected one of the year’s highest profile measures, which would have prohibited employers from requiring arbitration agreements and thus made it easier for workers to sue their bosses.

He told lawmakers that “since this bill plainly violates federal law (authorizing arbitration agreements), I cannot sign this measure.” Dan Walters in CALmatters.org
