@CAgovernor @BuffyWicks If people are arguing that this only sets a floor, & doesn't prevent people from paying more, you are being naive or disingenuous.

That NEVER happens. I still have developers or contractors who tell me as though boasting, that they'll pay prevailing wage, when it's the law.

[Carol Kim @carolkimSD]

I am SO grateful for these state legislators who have been stepping up and speaking out in defense of workers on #AB130.

I am disappointed not to hear any of my San Diego delegation members opposing this gutting of job quality standards. I hope to hear from them soon. #caleg

[Carol Kim @carolkimSD]

@CAgovernor Or was this you, Asm. @BuffyWicks? You seem to like undermining job quality standards too--do you believe blue collar workers should be paid less? To be clear, what's been proposed in #AB130, would mean that workers would be making LESS than 50% AMI in San Diego County. #Caleg

MORE OF THIS, PLEASE. Grow a backbone, Congress!! Democrats, start standing up!

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

ICYMI: I offered the simplest amendment last week to reaffirm that Congress is a co-equal branch of government. Every single Republican on the Appropriations Committee voted AGAINST IT. 

They're too afraid of Trump to stand up for the people and the Constitution.

join a union and they're your brothers and sisters

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

This #CesarChavezDay, join @UFWupdates, @CaliforniaLabor, @SEIU and thousands of union members from across CA as we march together in Delano in a strong show of solidarity with immigrant workers. Solidarity is our strength. 1/

Thank you to our dedicated members and organizers for all your hard work this election season. Your commitment to advocating for working families and our democracy is truly inspiring. #UnionStrong

Trump was able to build a stronger coalition of voters and may very well wind up with a Republican trifecta. This will be disastrous for my members.

Working people deserve a party that understands this, one that puts them first and places their issues front and center.

[Jimmy Williams @Jimmy_iupat]

They failed to address inflation, saying that it wasn’t a big issue or that the pain that working people feel right now isn’t real. So while we were able to get many of our members out to vote for VP Harris, many other workers went with Trump.

[Jimmy Williams @Jimmy_iupat]

That’s not good enough anymore! Rather than offer a positive agenda on what immigrant workers bring to our country, they bought into the punitive, “tough,” anti-worker messaging that is championed by Trump, even though we know it’s the bosses’ fault.

[Jimmy Williams @Jimmy_iupat]

That’s because the Democratic Party has continued to fail to prioritize a strong, working class message that addressed issues that really matter to workers.The party did not make a positive case for why workers should vote for them, only that they were not Donald Trump.

[Jimmy Williams @Jimmy_iupat]

And it worked: VP Harris got a stronger percentage of union voters this election than President Biden did in 2020. But she still lost!

[Jimmy Williams @Jimmy_iupat]

Here’s my take on the election… I spent the last several months traveling around speaking to my members across the Rust Belt. We spoke with thousands of IUPAT members and stressed the importance of this election.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, as a guy who thinks picking up calls from random numbers should be against the law, but if you voted in Nevada, pick up your phone!

[Carol Kim @carolkimSD]

@TeamTrump Yeah, NOPE.

No NYT games, don’t cross the picket line!
