Several worker protection laws took effect in California earlier this year, strengthening wage standards, limiting abusive contract practices, and expanding collective rights for workers.
These protections are now in place statewide.

A recent @sacbee.com article detailed the strike. CA law protects workers from discrimination and retaliation.

Hairstyles connected to your race are protected by law in California.
The CROWN Act makes clear that race discrimination includes natural hair texture and protective styles like braids, twists, and locs. Employers can’t force workers to change their hair.

When the Palisades and Eaton fires devastated Southern California, nearly 1,000 incarcerated firefighters were on the front lines. 🧑🚒
They face higher injury rates and dangerous smoke exposure, and have historically been paid far less than other firefighters for the same life-threatening work.

The fight for workers’ rights has always been shaped by Black leadership.
The Combahee River Collective named how race, gender, class, and power intersect, especially for Black women and Black workers. That insight still shapes how we understand workplace justice today.

Taco Bell workers in El Dorado Hills are striking after alleging racist abuse and retaliation in their Civil Rights Department Complaint. Speaking up is protected activity—and no worker should face harassment on the job.

No one deserves to work in these conditions. That’s why we’re filing a CRD complaint to address claims of racial and gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and a hostile work environment.
We stand with workers, always.

Today, Legal Aid at Work is closed in solidarity with the #NationalShutdown.
We condemn the many killings by ICE and other federal agents and stand with workers and communities refusing business as usual in the face of state violence. Collective action is essential to justice.

New reporting shows immigration enforcement tactics were tested in California farm communities before expanding nationwide.
In CA, immigration status does not erase workplace rights—and fear should never be used to silence workers. Learn more: https://shorturl.at/fhcyr

Unpredictable schedules make it harder for workers to get by.
Low-wage workers, especially in retail, fast food, and hospitality, often face last-minute changes, canceled shifts, or unpaid on-call work.
