- Attend meetings or listen to their employer’s speech on religious or political matters; or
- For reporting violations of the EFCA.
- Employers are not prohibited from requiring attendance at meetings or communications:
- About religious or political matters if attendance or participation is strictly voluntary; or
- That are legally required, are necessary for the job, or are intended to prevent or reduce workplace harassment or discrimination.
Who must post?
All employers must post the Employee Free Choice Act notice in a place where employee notices are normally posted and in a place frequented by employees. (SB 5778) |
