Section § 1166

Explanation

This law makes sure that, unless specifically stated, nothing in its provisions limits or interferes with the right of employees to go on strike, or changes the rules and conditions that apply to striking.

Nothing in this part, except as specifically provided for herein, shall be construed so as either to interfere with or impede or diminish in any way the right to strike, or to affect the limitations or qualifications on such right.

Section § 1166.2

Explanation

This law states that supervisors can join or stay in a labor union, but employers don't have to treat them as employees for collective bargaining reasons. This means supervisors can be part of a union but aren't included in negotiations between a company and its workers' union.

Nothing in this part shall prohibit any individual employed as a supervisor from becoming or remaining a member of a labor organization, but no employer subject to this part shall be compelled to deem individuals defined herein as supervisors as employees for the purpose of any law, either national or local, relating to collective bargaining.

Section § 1166.3

Explanation

This section explains that if a part of the law is found to be invalid for a certain situation or person, the rest of the law still stands. Also, if there's a conflict between this law and another state law, this one takes precedence.

(a)CA Labor Code § 1166.3(a) If any provision of this part, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstances, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this part, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
(b)CA Labor Code § 1166.3(b) If any other act of the Legislature shall conflict with the provisions of this part, this part shall prevail.
