Great news out of California today! We all deserve to be able to take time to grieve those closest to us, including chosen family members. This expansion will be an important safeguard for many working Californians.
SB 1149 (@SenMariaEDurazo) Bereavement Leave for Chosen or Extended Family was signed by @CAgovernor! This bill updated CA's existing bereavement leave law that allowed workers to take 5 unpaid days off to grieve. We are excited for this law to go into effect January 1, 2027!

Women make 23% more in a unionized trade than non-union counterparts. In a union, you cannot get paid less because you’re a woman, and that happens frequently in non-union work, so the wage gap is less. people.com/woman-in-the-trad…
