Senate Bill 866

Immediately after the Supreme Court issued its decision in Janus v. AFSCME,1 (discussed elsewhere in this issue), Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill 866, as urgency legislation that applies to all public employers in California effective June 27, 2018. Among other things, S.B. 866 amends the Government Code and creates new state law regulating: organization membership dues and membership-related fees; employer communications with employees about their rights to join or support, or refrain from joining or supporting unions; and union access to employee orientations, by making such orientations confidential.
