It’s crazy how @amazon just suspended over 50 ALU leaders and workers at JFK8 who refused to work in an unsafe environment. Who would think exercising your legal right can end in a threat to your employment
BREAKING: @GavinNewsom signs a bill to make it easier for low-income Californians to take paid family leave by boosting the wage replacement benefits to up to 90% of regular wages.

This victory belongs to the thousands of farm workers who sacrificed so much to make this a reality.
