#AB257 is about two things: worker power and corporate accountability. We’re joining @FightFor15 to organize and mobilize to WIN. But, we need to make sure @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom supports the bill! Governor: Stand with California’s Fast Food workers! #CALeg

Workers from across CA have converged on Sacramento today. Some of us are new to the fast food industry, some of us have worked in it for decades We all recognize the reality: The rules were never written for workers like us We need #AB257 to ensure we have a seat at the table

McDonald’s worker Crystal Orozco holding a sign that says YES ON AB 257 with the Fight for $15 logo. She's a middle aged latina who attended the last committee hearing after working 6pm-12am the night before the day long hearing. She's returned with workers from across the state.

NEW: Starbucks is firing union leaders during elections for increasingly preposterous reasons. One union leader was fired for showing up to work too early. Another was terminated after her co-worker refused to return from lunch. The reasons only get more absurd from there.

BREAKING: @JackBox workers in Sacramento have walked off the job on strike After a pregnant co-worker was threatened at gunpoint, she was told to finish her shift & her hours were cut when she refused. This is obscene. We've filed a complaint with CalOSHA. #UnionsForAll

Companies buying their own stock was mostly illegal before 1982. Since then, companies like United Airlines have decreased the amount of revenue going to workers (from 46.5% to 20.9%), while increasing the amount going to shareholders 5x (7.3% to 38.7%) capitalandmain.com/american-…
