john,
Millionaires who want to roll back the clock on worker protections in California are funneling big money
into a campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. Let me be clear: if they are successful, we’ll lose many of
the hard-fought gains we’ve made on higher wages, paid sick leave, health and safety on the job and a
lot more.
That's why we need every worker in California to oppose this anti-union worker recall. Click here to oppose it!
The backers of this recall are anti-union special interests. Combined, these corporate
funders of the recall have spent tens of millions of dollars attacking unions and our agenda to protect
workers. The anti-union recall backers want to lower wages, eliminate health and safety laws and kill
union jobs.
The recall is a sneak attack on our jobs, wages, benefits and unions.
The recall backers are part of a national network of anti-union interests that includes billionaire funders
that attack public education, union jobs, retirement security, minimum wage laws and voting rights.
California’s laws to protect workers are the strongest in the nation. Over the past two decades, we’ve
raised the minimum wage, provided paid sick and family leave to all workers, increased funding to our
neighborhood schools, created good union jobs by investing in homecare, child care and infrastructure,
and strengthened the right to join a union. All that and more is at risk with the anti-union recall.
If the anti-union recall backers are successful, California will lose years of progress on workers’ rights.
The recall would lower pay for workers, shrivel investment in public education and safety, eliminate
child care and health care and put workers at greater risk of injury or death on the job.
We can’t afford to allow wealthy anti-union special interests to seize control of California. The recall
risks undermining the values we share as Californians and dramatically weakening our commitment to creating opportunity for all working people and families. Join us saying NO to the antiworker recall! Learn more at NoAntiWorkerRecall.com.
