Once in a while a contractor complains to me that an outside organization is harvesting employees’ personal information from the company’s certified payroll records submitted (as required in law in California Labor Code Section 1776) to a local government agency.  Sometimes the employees are contacted because union-affiliated Joint Labor-Management Committees have legally obtained employee addresses in certified payroll records.

There are 116 charter cities in California identified by the League of California Cities. The state constitution allows these cities to establish their own policies regarding purely municipal affairs, thus freeing themselves from the rules and mandates of the state government.
