New California Law – No Bosses

It's not a law yet, but it did pass committee which means it has support.



Quote:
If you want to be a boss in California, that might just be impossible. If Speaker of the Assembly Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego) gets his way with his sponsored bill that has passed through committee that would literally phase out your right to be called the boss of your own company.

Atkins efforts are echoed by president Pro Tem Kevin De León who stated that he and his caucus were fully on board. De León (D-Los Angeles) said, “No longer will workers confront the hostile environment which comes every day when they have to face being stratified in their careers.”

The California Legislature is debating a bill that has passed through committee that would phase out hierarchy within a company. The bill is considered a landmark bill by many to eliminate what has been referred to as “wholesale oppression” of employees of a company.

De León (D-Los Angeles) said, “No longer will workers confront the hostile environment which comes every day when they have to face being stratified in their careers.”

AB-69 details the terms which can no longer as stated in the law be used to “create a hostile work environment.” As codified in the law, the terms “supervisor, manager, overseer, team leader, leader, producer, director, controller, chair, boss, captain, head person, head honcho, authority, chief, chairperson, chairman, partner, inspector or any other term that may create a perception of inequity that an employee may perceive as harmful to their employment individuality.” Speaker Atkins stated, “This legislation in coordination with our recent law regarding bullying in the workplace will successfully create a harmonious environment for our residents which will enhance their life experience.”

The ACLU has weighed in supporting the proposal. ACLU spokesperson Jeffrey Steinberg expressed not only that the new law would be welcomed, but they feel the law will withstand any legal challenges. Steinberg stated “Our society has wrought a fearful environment for have-nots who wish to improve their economic status. Being stratified with hostile terms like supervisor or manager have created a drag on our culture that must be halted.”

You meant for that to go into the comedy thread................ right?

“No longer will workers confront the hostile environment which comes every day when they have to face being stratified in their careers.”

Our whole lives are stratified from the day we are born.

No mention of outlawing Shop Steward. How about Speaker, Governor, Police Chief, Mayor, etc.

There are some seriously brain damaged morons ruining that once great state.

Hoax or not...

Upward mobility ends at $15.00/hr. Or whatever minimum wage is set at the federal level.

Woohoo!!! Personal and professional sacrifice is no longer a requirement for work. Let's party like it's 1999!

Could be. There is an AB 69, but it calls for police body cameras:

Quote:
Bill Text: CA AB69 | 2015-2016 | Regular Session | Amended

Bill Title: Peace officers: body-worn cameras.

Once again, I got duped.

A search yielded this ... http://townhall.com/columnists/bruce...osses-n2032476

Quote:
Editor's note: The following column is satire. Townhall apologizes for not making that explicitly clear at the time of publication and regrets this error.

Saw it posted by the original link above and felt that they don't post up BS ... Apparently they got duped too.


Going to sit in the corner now ....
