. (a) At the hearing the director shall consider any relevant
matters that may be presented.
(b) At or after the conclusion of the hearing, the director shall
determine whether or not the proposed scale is reasonable. If the
director determines that the proposed scale is reasonable, the
director shall approve it and thereafter that scale of charges shall
be the standard charge for unloading any farm product in the market.
If the director determines that the scale is unreasonable, the
director shall adjust the scale or any item of the scale so that the
scale is not unreasonably higher than the prevailing rate for similar
work which is performed under similar conditions. After this
adjustment, the scale shall be the standard charge for unloading any
farm product in the market.
(c) In making the determination and, if necessary, the adjustment
required in subdivision (b), the director shall compare the scale
proposed by the union with any available information relating to the
charges for similar work which is performed under similar conditions
in the city in, or for, which the market is operated. The director
may take into consideration any rates set by the Public Utilities
Commission for the performance of work of a similar nature.
