New York Times report: Chase Center, Oracle Park workers fighting back!
New York Times report: Connie Sarmiento was one of 2,100 concessions workers terminated by the Golden State Warriors and San Francisco Giants’ food service contractor. UNITE HERE Local 2 members fought back, and terminations were rescinded at Oracle Park – but not at Chase Center.
Warriors, why won’t you protect us workers during #COVID19?
Vote NO on Prop 22
Uber, Lyft, and Doordash are spending $181 million to pass Prop 22. If they win, there will be a race to the bottom because corporations that do not follow basic labor laws, like minimum wage and workers’ compensation, will have an unfair advantage. Union jobs in hospitality, construction, retail, public transit and many other industries are at risk.
We say NO on Prop 22. Click here to go to www.sickofgiggreed.com and take the pledge to vote No on Prop 22.
Stop Corporate Greed: Vote YES on Prop 15 and NO on Prop 22
For years, corporations have used shady tactics to avoid paying their fair share in California. YES on Prop 15 and NO on Prop 22 will hold wealthy CEOs accountable so that our workforce, schools, and communities can thrive. This November, vote YES on Prop 15 and No on Prop 22 to put an end to corporate greed!
Voting YES on Prop 15 will reclaim $12 billion for schools and critical local services by closing property tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy. Vote YES on Prop 15! #YesOn15
Prop 22 will allow greedy corporations like Uber and Lyft to undermine workers. It’s time to turn all jobs into good jobs and provide protections for ALL working people. Vote NO on Prop 22! #NoOnProp22 #SickofGigGreed
