Welcome 2 PUTIN'S USSR, CA! Why is JER wearing a,shirt?

Pennsylvania doesn’t have these ridiculous laws and is a tax-friendly State!

😳What if you’re a man that “identifies as a woman” - Can you sit on a BOD and that qualifies?!

I can see taking my company and moving to Texas. Don’t tell me how to run my business California

Even if they don’t have the qualifications? Law? surely this is a joke, sexist at the least.? How stupid the world is becoming where we employ people to satisfy lefties ideology? I’m all for women in work force based on ability. What fruit loop come up with this comedy?😂😂😂😂

Yeah, no. Imagine being that one woman board member thinking, 'Am I here because I earned it? Or am I here as a token because the law said so?'

Could this actually be 'a taking' as defined by Supreme Court years ago?

This how liberals try to run you and your business and your life. I’m sure with your high taxes and stupid laws many businesses will leave for better states. Beautiful state but being ruined by liberals!

Quotas... yup that should work Jerry... Its worked so well with Affirmative Action.

Is this also sort of gender racism. There could ne a better qualified man for the job but this law forces companies to give it a woman. Then we ask what about gay men, lesbians, blacks, Chinese, latinos ......

What about a man that identifies as a woman? Liberal contradictions

patmiletich imJefferyWilson

Fascism democrat style

Actual women or would men who identify as women count?

And if a female condidate is the least qualified that doesn't matter, right? Stupid Democrats.

What about dead people? What about parakeets? How much slipperier do you think this steep slope's gonna get? I'm in FL -- gotta thank the universe for CA.

Or a man who identifies as a woman

Is this legal? Or, does it even matter Comrade Brown?

This isn’t how you fix inequality!! I guess you don’t have to go too far to find a communist and socialist government rule.

The only reason I would want to be on the board would be because I am qualified. No thanks to being the token woman!

Compensation/Remuneration seat wanted.

Why stop there? Don't we need at least one lesbian and at least one homosexual on every board? What about reserving a board seat for at least one person with gender disphoria?

What about transgender? What about blind people? What about veterans? lunacy

Why only one? Is that how little they think of women?

Is her position called the Token Woman?

This law is stupid. Why aren’t we pushing for equality of animals? How many dogs sit on the board of any companies? 1 maybe 2? Bush’s Baked Beans and who else? I doubt a Clydesdale sits on the board of Anheiser Busch. Animals on boards now. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Is this Affirmative action?

Lot's of Head Offices will move across the State border!

I'd move my headquarters ASAP.

Most ludicris thing I've heard.Whats next?Forcing a minority onto the board? Hiring is based off of credentials, experience and education.Its an overreach,by every standard,to demand by law,that you have to hire ppl of specific gender/race to fill a position. discrimination

What about short people?

Stupid. Government, get your agenda out of the boardroom...!

Setting women back another 50 years... Great work guys..

My God! I hope she's qualified.

California Mandates Women On Corporate Boards, But Do Quotas Work?This week California mandated that corporations headquartered in California include at least one woman on their boards of directors. Many have questioned the legality of a bill that requires companies to hire women for particular positions. But, if it is legal, will it help foster equality at work? I’ve got a quota for you. “I’m a Supreme Court justice.” Ha. Quotas aren't good enough? What comes next? I hope corporations move their offices out of California at an outstanding rate.
