services for purposes of the orientation.
Finally, as discussed above, SB 866 provides that before a public employer distributes to employees any
mass communication concerning their rights to join or support a union, or to refrain from doing so, it must
confer with the union. This is significant and alters public agency operation above and beyond Janus.
