Long-time truck drivers who know the rules of the road shouldn't have their licenses taken away simply because English isn't their first language.
That's why we've partnered with the @Teamsters856, educators, and community leaders in the Salinas Valley to launch a mobile pilot English program for Class A truck drivers.
This is about protecting good jobs in California!

How much did you get for a raise this year? 1%? 3%? How about 25%?
FACT: California billionaires increased their net worth by 25% over the last two years. That's about $432 billion dollars. Yet they are spending MILLIONS to try and get out of having to pay a fraction of that amount to keep California's hospitals open and more than 150,000 health care workers on the job saving lives.
Tax the billionaires ➡️ Save California's health care system. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

Starbucks is reportedly increasing workers’ health insurance premiums by as much as 100%, according to the Guardian.
When workers asked why, Starbucks ignored them. Starbucks Workers United has filed a ULP in response.
United we bargain. Divided we beg. Help unionize your workplace at unionizecalifornia.org

President Trump gave billionaires tax breaks, and he funded it by cutting hundreds of billions of dollars, including $100 billion in California. Billionaires don't need even more money. It's time they paid their fair share to keep California's hospitals open and tens of thousands of health care workers on the job saving lives. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

We have seen polling after polling of young people, union members under the age of 45, and they overwhelmingly support taxing billionaires. This is what the Labor Movement should be fighting for, and we're proud to be doing so. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40
