Dave Jamieson at The Huffington Post reports California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a Bill into law barring employers from holding mandatory Anti-Union Meetings in the workplace.  The legislation makes California the latest and largest State to outlaw Captive Audience Meetings.  At least eight other States, all Democratic-leaning, have passed similar bans with the support of Labor Unions.  “California has a rich history of standing up for Workers’ Rights and this Bill continues that tradition - making sure Employees have the freedom to make their own decisions without coercion,” Newsom said.  The California Bill still allows employers to hold Anti-Union Meetings, but they can’t force Workers to show up under threat of punishment - attendance must be voluntary.  When companies violate the statute, the law enables Workers to pursue damages in Court.
