CA AB2374

Redefines "contractor" under the Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act to mean any person that employs janitor employees and enters into a service contract, removing the previous 25-employee minimum threshold.

Extends the mandatory retention period for successor contractors from 60 days to 90 days and requires maintenance of a preferential hiring list of eligible employees by seniority within job classifications during the transition period.

Requires awarding authorities to notify both the contractor and union (if applicable) in writing within 5 days of terminating a service contract and post notice at the worksite, including the termination date and successor contractor information.

Mandates that successor contractors maintain the same number of hours and pay the same wages and benefits as the prior contractor, and must share employment offers with the union contemporaneously.

Authorizes the Labor Commissioner to enforce the act and recover remedies including hiring rights, back pay, and imposes civil penalties of $500 per employee with liquidated damages up to $10,000 per employee; allows courts to award treble damages for willful violations.
