California Legislative Union

California legislative staff deserve the right to unionize!

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

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.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

If you ignorantly or even innocently ask why Government unions are even necessary, Trump is Exhibit A. Without unions, civil service can be made meaningless, lay-offs become political and the only check is the union fighting in court. That’s why Trump is trying to get rid of us.

Thank you @SenAishaWahab for championing this critical legislation! This is one less barrier to our future (and ongoing) organizing. #caleg #CAunionrights

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 🙌

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

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

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

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.

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

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.

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

It's May Day!

ALL workers deserve a say in their workplace!
ALL workers deserve fair compensation!
ALL workers deserve a union! #CaLeg

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

This is the last week of hearings for bills going to fiscal committees.

Hang in there, staff ❤️

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

God forbid staff have a slightly easier time of it in mid-april

[Shanna Ezzell @smallfry9]

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.
