With the newfound attention on issues of sexual harassment and our culture’s mishandling of it, California Sen. Holly Mitchell introduced SB 1343 to help address these problems.

This week, the California Legislature is expected to pass SB 1343. SB 1343 modifies the current employer harassment training mandate (AB 1825) by significantly expanding its scope. If signed into law, SB 1343 will more than quadruple the scope of the current law as it will apply to the whole workforce (not just managers) and it will apply to virtually every California employer, not just those with 50 or more employees.
