$19 million on ads promoting California while the state workers who keep it running are fighting for fair pay?! The math ain’t mathin’ 🤨 Our state is only as great as the workers who keep it running and we deserve fair pay without compromise! #SEIULocal1000 #UnionStrong #StrongerTogether #FairPay

Unionism is defined as the policies and practices of labor unions, particularly those concerned with protecting and furthering the rights of workers. Here’s why that matters: Throughout history, the power of unionism has shaped landmark protections for working people.
