California has enacted Senate Bill 399, prohibiting mandatory workplace meetings about political or religious views, aimed to protect workers' rights to organize without intimidation.
Proponents argue that such meetings intimidate workers from exercising their unionization rights, countering the existing legal protections against retaliation for union support.
Opponents, including the California Chamber of Commerce, contend the law infringes on employers' free speech rights, impacting their ability to discuss pertinent industry regulations.
This new law positions California alongside nine other states in banning captive audience meetings, marking a significant shift in labor relations amid political change.
