Governor Newsom signs the Secure Hospitals for All bill (AB 2975), aimed at keeping healthcare workers and patients safe by reducing or eliminating the presence of weapons in hospitals.
While many Americans take in the holiday as a celebration of Summer family fun, we in the labor movement observe the true spirit of Labor Day by honoring working people, the contributions they make, and the sacrifices they give. As union members, we challenge the status quo, fight back against corporate greed and demand respect and dignity in the workplace. This is a day to reflect that important and ongoing work.
Victory in Orange County!
