The new California law, known as the "California Worker Freedom from Employer Intimidation Act," prohibits employers from taking or threatening adverse employment action against an employee because the employee refuses to attend employer meetings about, or to participate in, receive, or listen to, any communications about the employer's opinion on religious or political matters.

Question 4

How does the California law compare to laws in other states?

Accepted Answer

The California law is similar to, but broader than, laws in several other states that attempt to decrease the influence of "captive audience" meetings communicating an employer's political or religious opinions. The new California law applies to meetings and communications related to employers' opinions on "political matters" or "religious matters," both of which are broader than the focus on unionization in some other states' laws.
