Section 1160.2 Of Chapter 6. Prevention Of Unfair Labor Practices And Judicial Review And Enforcement From California Labor Code >> Division 2. >> Part 3.5. >> Chapter 6.
1160.2
. Whenever it is charged that any person has engaged in or is
engaging in any such unfair labor practice, the board, or any agent
or agency designated by the board for such purposes, shall have power
to issue and cause to be served upon such person a complaint stating
the charges in that respect, and containing a notice of hearing
before the board or a member thereof, or before a designated agency
or agencies, at a place therein fixed, not less than five days after
the serving of such complaint. No complaint shall issue based upon
any unfair labor practice occurring more than six months prior to the
filing of the charge with the board and the service of a copy
thereof upon the person against whom such charge is made, unless the
person aggrieved thereby was prevented from filing such charge by
reason of service in the armed forces, in which event the six-month
period shall be computed from the day of his discharge. Any such
complaint may be amended by the member, agent, or agency conducting
the hearing, or the board in its discretion, at any time prior to the
issuance of an order based thereon. The person so complained against
shall have the right to file an answer to the original or amended
complaint and to appear in person or otherwise and give testimony at
the place and time fixed in the complaint. In the discretion of the
member, agent, or agency conducting the hearing or the board, any
other person may be allowed to intervene in the proceeding and to
present testimony. Any such proceeding shall, so far as practicable,
be conducted in accordance with the Evidence Code. All proceedings
shall be appropriately reported.
