Fast-food workers from across the state urged Gov. Gavin Newsom to initiate more workplace protections in rally and art installation Sunday.
SACRAMENTO, CA — Fast-food workers from across the state will urge Gov. Gavin Newsom to initiate more workplace protections in rally and art installation Sunday evening.
The rally, put on by a union and the organization Fight for $15, centers around Assembly Bill 257, which would give workers and franchises more say on cases of sexual harassment, wage theft, safety violations and violence under large fast-food corporations.
The bill has already passed through the Assembly, and will be voted on by the Senate Appropriations Committee on Aug. 11.
