What does #AB701 do?
⏩ requires employers to disclose quotas to workers & state enforcement agencies
⏩ prohibits employers from counting time spent complying with health & safety laws as “time off task”
⏩ directs Cal/OSHA to create a standard to minimize warehouse injuries

Great news! Grocery and drug retail companies in u Great news! Grocery and drug retail companies in unincorporated LA County that employ 300 or more employees nationwide will have to provide $5 #HeroPay for its frontline non-exempt hourly employees. Thank you @hildasolis for your leadership! Thanks also to @hollyjmitchell @sheilakuehl @supjanicehahn for protecting the dignity of workers who have been critical lifelines for our communities. #HazardPay
🚨 Relentless quotas + dangerous workloads + con 🚨 Relentless quotas + dangerous workloads + constant surveillance = debilitating injuries. 🚨 Amazon warehouse workers report having to scan an excruciating 300-400 items per HOUR, with each task constantly tracked and penalties for time marked as "off-task." Workers even report feeling pressured to work even after experiencing painful injuries. California: we can do better, starting with #AB701.
Thanks to all the parents, students and educators Thanks to all the parents, students and educators who showed up at the car caravan this weekend (or tuned in digitally) to demand a safe return to in-person schooling for ALL in #LosAngeles, not just a privileged few. Protecting the health of our families and communities means having clear health and safety protocols in schools, greater investments to improve distance learning, and an end to educational racism when schools reopen. #MakeItSafe #DemandSafeSchools #OnlyWhenItsSafe
In some neighborhoods on the wealthy Westside such In some neighborhoods on the wealthy Westside such as Beverly Hills, 25% of residents have already received the first dose of the two-shot vaccine. In contrast, South L.A. and neighboring cities such as Compton, where incomes are lower and a majority of residents are Latino, only 5% of residents have been vaccinated. While 43% of white seniors and 39% of Asian American seniors have received at least one dose of the vaccine, Latino and Black communities trail behind. Just 29% of Latino seniors and 24% of Black seniors have been vaccinated. The areas with the highest number of Latino and Black seniors have also been among the hardest hit by the coronavirus. A comparison of the new vaccination maps against the spread of the virus show the areas with the highest case rates have some of the lowest vaccination rates. (via @latimes)
