  2. California's Cal/OSHA provides stronger workplace safety protections than federal OSHA. Employers must proactively identify and correct hazards, not just react to complaints. Workers who report safety issues have robust whistleblower protections. #WorkplaceSafety #CalOSHA #LaborRights #WorkerProtection

  3. California's ABC test shifted the burden to employers to prove independent contractor status. Under Dynamex and AB5, workers are presumed employees unless the hiring entity proves: (A) freedom from control, (B) work outside usual business, (C) independent business operation. This protects temporary and gig workers from misclassification that costs them wages and benefits. #LaborRights #WorkerProtection #CaliforniaLaw

  4. Long Beach retail workers: CA law mandates 30-min duty-free meal breaks every 5 hours worked. Employers who skip breaks or make you work through them owe you one hour penalty pay per violation day. Document every missed break with dates and details—your records are your strongest protection.

As the federal government teeters on the brink of chaos, there are voices, voices that claim to be on the left, calling for the shutdown to continue. They present it as some kind of moral or political strategy, a way to "punish" the administration or make a political statement. But what they fail—or refuse—to acknowledge is the human cost of this so-called […]

  25. CW: NZPol worker protection

    "... amounts owed to employees are paid out after liquidation costs have been sorted – and only if there is any money left from the failed business. There is also a cap on what each employee can claim – currently set at $25,480 – regardless of what they are owed.
    ...
    New Zealand’s approach to protecting workers compares badly to other countries, where government schemes bolster the protections for unpaid employee debts."
