Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. We are a group that believes the staffers in the CA legislature deserve the right to organize. Staffers have been denied labor rights by the people that employ them. This is wrong, and it must change. #caunionrights #caleg
Happy #MayDay from your “radical ideologue staff” just doing what their bosses tell them. We’re coming off a season working nights and weekends to get over 1000 bills passed by committees. We serve at the pleasure of the members — and take their blame too. #BlameTheStaff #CALeg
Anti-union behavior is a bipartisan issue. In CA leaders on both sides of the aisle must support our right to organize and protect crucial workers in the public service.
See our Dear Colleague letter below as we start a new legislative session. Please share what you think we should be focused on through the survey form at bit.ly/CaLegUnionSurvey
Thank you @SenAishaWahab for championing this critical legislation! This is one less barrier to our future (and ongoing) organizing. #caleg #CAunionrights
Happy Labor Day! See our Dear Colleague letter attached. Looking forward to working with you all this year and every other. #caleg #LaborDay2024
Day one of session after 5PM. Hearing Saturday session may go until Sunday morning. See you on the other side colleagues 🫡
As we head into the end of session, big shout out to the staff who are going to be clocking a ton of additional, unacknowledged hours to make sure the work gets done! Once we make it through the month we're that much closer to a #CALeg union 🙌
Long days at the Capitol this week for our dedicated staff working for the people of CA. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but we're already dreaming of a union. One week to recess, two years to representation…💪 #UnionStrong #CALeg

Staff deserve what all workers deserve: a voice at the table. A union. #CAleg

This #CAleg house of origin deadline comes after 5 nights of working up to 12+ hour days for legislative staffers.
They sacrifice family time and well-being to keep California moving forward.
🧵
Staff deserve to have boundaries on their workload.
Staff deserve to have a family AND a career.
Staff deserve to be people and still be able to do what they love.
Staff deserve the same rights as the Californians they serve.
Staff deserve what all workers deserve: a voice at the table. A union. #CAleg

It's May Day!
ALL workers deserve a say in their workplace!
ALL workers deserve fair compensation!
ALL workers deserve a union! #CaLeg
God forbid staff have a slightly easier time of it in mid-april
That sound you’re hearing is the collective groan of Assembly staffers writing talking points for consent bills. #CALeg

Public service should not mean public servitude.
