🚨BREAKING: #SB399 to ban mandatory captive audience meetings has PASSED the Assembly! 🎉
CA Unions are fighting for ALL workers & calling on #CALeg to #PassSB399. No one should be fired for not attending a captive meeting about their employers' views on politics/religion. This is a national @AFLCIO model bill that 10 states have passed already, CA needs to be next!

“Warehouse, packing & food processing work is fast paced & strenuous.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: Low income workers are 5x more likely to be hurt.
Act now! Save workers from being sickened, injured & killed from indoor heat.” Jassy Grewal @UFCWWSC8

Ralphs & Food 4 Less workers are food insecure & can’t afford basic needs. What happens if they lose their job in a merger? CA needs to provide workers with a one week per year of service grocery worker allowance so workers can stay afloat during difficult times. @UFCWWSC8
