The chair of California's Agricultural Labor Relations Board resigned in anger Friday, claiming a measure to keep farm workers apprised of their labor rights had "languished in the bowels of state bureaucracy for the past 14 months". William B. Gould IV, who was appointed to chair the board by Governor Jerry Brown in 2014, had proposed the Worker Education Unit in an effort to fix what he described as the board's irrelevance to laborers. Growers, however, saw the proposal as overstepping the purpose of the board, which has traditionally only ruled on infringements of worker rights.
