Still no word from Governor Newsom on AB
3216!
This is Hospitality
Workers' LAST CHANCE to potentially win the right to return to the
jobs that many of them have had for decades!
Can you call the
Governor?NOW, ONE MORE TIME, urging him to pass this
life-saving bill!
And can you forward this
message and ask your friends and networks to call?
Hospitality workers and faith community from the around the state
remain outside Governor Newsom's office today, patiently fasting and
raising their voices, urging him to sign AB?3216?by tonight!
In
fact, yesterday CLUE clergy, lay leaders, and workers delivered a
letter with over 200 signatures to Gov. Newsom's office urging him to
sign AB3216!! (Click here to see the letter and
signatures!)
Amid the ongoing social and economic crises, Governor Gavin Newsom
has a chance to defend hospitality workers across California by
signing?into law.?The bill, which has passed
both houses of the state legislature, would give hospitality workers
the "Right of Recall" -- the opportunity to return to their workplaces
by seniority when the work returns, instead of potentially being
passed over for younger, cheaper labor.
But time is running out -- Governor Newsom has until
tonight, Wednesday 9/30, to sign the bill, and he's being pressured by
the hotel industry not to do so.??
As a result, hospitality workers and clergy from around the
state have began caravans to the state capitol last week, and have
just launched a hunger strike as well, and have been doing daily
delegations to visit Governor Newsom. Last week workers delivered a
letter from over 50 members of Jesuit West province demanding the
passage of AB 3216, and?the
workers' fight has been covered in the Jesuit publication, America
Magazine, but still no movement from our Governor.
And
yesterday CLUE clergy, lay leaders, and workers delivered a letter
with over 200 signatures to Gov. Newsom's office urging him to sign
AB3216!!
Thank you for your support!
In Solidarity,
