Our hearts go out to the families devastated by the historic Los Angeles wildfires and our deepest gratitude for the heroic firefighters on the frontlines.

Resources for Affected Union Members & Families

Know Your Rights in Natural Disasters?

California law states you cannot be retaliated against or lose your job for not reporting to work or leaving your worksite during a natural disaster that threatens your safety. For more information, please see the factsheet available online HERE.?
