APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS SERVE A
VARIETY OF IMPORTANT PURPOSES
BOTH ARE EXPANDING THE SKILLED
WORKFORCE AND PROVIDING
APPRENTICES COMPETITIVE WAGES.
THE EARN AS YOU LEARN MODEL HAS
PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN
PROVIDING ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY
TO THE JOB MARKET FOR ALL
WORKERS.
WHILE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
HAVE CLEAR BENEFITSFOR STUDENTS.
THE CURRENT ACADEMIC CLIMATE IN
HIGH SCHOOLS OFTEN EMPHASIZES
COLLEGE PREPAREDNESS WHILE THE
BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS FOR
STUDENTS.
EXITING HIGH SCHOOL ARE COMMONLY
OVERLOOKED.
EVEN IF STUDENTS WERE PROVIDED
THE INFORMATION ON THE POTENTIAL
BENEFITS OF APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS.
THEY ARE OFTEN UNAWARE OF WHAT
LOCAL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW TO ACCESS
THEM.
AB FIFTEEN FIFTY EIGHT REQUIRES
A SCHOOL OUR LOCAL EDUCATION
AGENCY TO CONTACT LOCAL
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
PRECEDING OF COLLEGE OR CAREER
FAIR.
THIS ENSURES THAT APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS ARE GIVEN THE SAME
FORUMS TO PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES
TO STUDENTS AS OTHER COLLEGE OR
CAREER OPTIONS.
THIS BILL ALSO IMPROVE CHANNELS
OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES AN
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS BY
PROVIDING POINTS OF CONTACT AND
LOCATIONS OF OPERATION FOR LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES.
THIS PRACTICE WILL ENSURE THAT

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS --
AB TWELVE NINETY ONE CLARIFIES
THE TIME FRAME FOR WHEN CANNABIS
BUSINESSES NEED TO COMPLY WITH.
LABOR PEACE AGREEMENT
REQUIREMENTS LABOR PEACE
AGREEMENT IS AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE BUSINESS AND A LABOR
ORGANIZATION THAT PRESCRIBES THE
OBLIGATIONS OF EACH PARTY.
THESE AGREEMENTS TEND TO INCLUDE
MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL PROVISIONS
THAT PROTECT BUSINESSES AND
FACILITATE THE ABILITY FOR
EMPLOYEES TO ORGANIZE CURRENT
LAW REQUIRES THAT CANNABIS
BUSINESSES WITH MORE.
WITH TWENTY OR MORE EMPLOYEES
INTERRELATE FOR PEACE AGREEMENT
WITH THE UNION AS PART OF THE
APPLICATION PROCESS TO OBTAIN A
CANNABIS LICENSE.
BUSINESSES ARE REQUIRED TO STATE
THAT THEY WILL ENTER LABOR PEACE
AGREEMENT IF THE BUSINESS HAD
NOT ALREADY ENTERED.
ONE HOWEVER CURRENT REGULATIONS
ARENOT CLEAR OF WHAT ON WIND
THIS RE REQUIREMENT NEEDS TO BE
FILLED.
REGULATIONS SAY THAT THESE
REQUIREMENTS SEEM TO BE MET AS
SOON AS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE
WOW THAT'S A BIG WORD WHICH IS
VAGUE AND OPEN TO INTERPRETATION.
A. B. TWELVE NINETY ONE WERE
REQUIRE BUSINESSES WITH TWENTY
EMPLOYEES OR MORE TO ENTER LABOR
PEACE AGREEMENT WITHIN SIXTY
DAYS OR EMPLOYING THEIR
TWENTIETH EMPLOYEE.
THIS MEASURE WILL PREVENT
ARBITRARY ENFORCEMENT AGAINST
CANDICE BUSINESSES AND PROVIDE
EMPLOYEES WITH CLARITY ON WHEN
AN EMPLOYER IS FAILING TO COMPLY
WITH THE LAW.
WITH ME TO DAY TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE IS JAZZY

BILL THAT DOESN'T JOY AND I

THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I WENT TO
THE SUIT OUR CONSULATES RIGHT IN
OAKLAND.
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT -- ANY
CLOSING COMMENTS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE

SNOOP DOGG.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER VOEPEL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLEASE --
PRESENT ON A. B..%
ONE SIXTY AND EACH SIDE HAS UP
TO WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO USE SIX
MINUTES FOR EXPERT TESTIMONY --
IF YOU HAVE ANYONE THAT YOU LIKE
TO TESTIFY OTHERWISE WHICH WILL
HELP PLEASE PROCEED.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
COLLEAGUES I THINK I'M THE
EXPERT.
I'M NOT A I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF
PRESENTING AB. ONE SIXTY FOR THE
EIGHTH YEAR IN A ROW.
A BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW A
PRIVATE EMPLOYER THE ABILITY TO
ENACT A VOLUNTARY VETERANS
PREFERENCE PROGRAM.
THE VOLUNTARY VETERANS
PREFERENCES RECOGNIZE THAT
ENJOYED AMONG PUBLIC EMPLOYERS
HOWEVER PRIVATE EMPLOYERS ARE
LIMITED TO ONLY VIETNAM WAR HERO
THE VETERANS WHEN EXERCISING
THEIR VOLUNTARY VETERANS
PREFERENCE.
AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT MOST
VIETNAM VETERANS LIKE MYSELF.
OR RETIREE OR LEAVING THE LABOR
FORCE SO.
THAT PREFERENCE DOESN'T REALLY
HELP ANYBODY.
AB ONE SIXTY SIMPLY REVISES AN
UPDATE OVERSIGHT BY ALLOWING
PRIVATE EMPLOYERS TO EXERCISE
OUR VOLUNTARY VETERANS
PREFERENCE TO ALL VETERANS WITH
THE GENERAL OR HONORABLE
DISCHARGE.
REGARDLESS OF THE ERA IN WHICH
THEY SERVE.
SIMILAR VOLUNTARY VETERANS
PREFERENCE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
ENACTED IN THIRTY SEVEN STATES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND HAVE
MANAGED TO STAY COMPLIANT WITH
THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF NINETEEN
SIXTY FOUR NONE OF THESE STATES
HAVE BEEN SUED.
SO WORKS.
AND IT BURKE HABITS
DISCRIMINATION IN HIRING THE
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT THERE'S NO
REASON CALIFORNIA SHOULD NOT BE
CAPABLE F THE SAY.
I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS. FOR THOSE
REASONS MEMBERS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR IPHONE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS TO TO
CLARIFY -- THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS -- AS SOME MAIN.
NO TWELVE DAYS AGO THE
TRANSGENDER BAM INTO A FACT --
BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION PUT IN
PLACE THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENT IS
TO MAKE THE BILL'S PROVISIONS
CONTINGENT ON REVERSAL OF THE
TRANS GENDER BAND AND ARMED
FORCES.
AND THIS PRESUMPTION OR ALSO
MAKING SURE THAT NO OTHER
PROTECTED CLASSES ARE DENIED OF
A SERVICE IN THE MILITARY I DO
APPRECIATE.
THE AUTHOR FOR ACCEPTING THAT
AMENDMENT WITH THE RECOGNITION
THAT UNTIL EVERYONE CAN SERVE --
THAT THAT -- THAT THIS PART THAT
THIS PROGRAM EVEN THOUGH IT
APPLIED ALL VETERANS -- WOULD
EXCLUDE SOME IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND SO I APPRECIATE THE
ACCEPTANCE OF THAT COMMITTEE
AMENDMENT -- MISTER VOEPEL.
ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT.
ANYONE IN OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
PLEASE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS ALICE KESSLER HERE ON
BEHALF OF A QUALITY CALIFORNIA
AND WHILE WE CERTAINLY APPLAUD
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS EFFORTS --
TO INSURER EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY FOR VETERANS -- EVEN
WITH THE AMENDMENT THAT THE
COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED
UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE
REMAINING CONCERNS -- BUT FIRST
JUST FUNDAMENTALLY -- THE WAY
THIS IS STRUCTURED -- TO GIVE A
PREFERENCE TO ONE GROUP THAT'S
PROTECTED UNDER FEE HA -- IT YOU
KNOW IT DOES DISADVANTAGED THE
OTHER PROTECTED GROUPS -- UNDER
THE LAW AND AND THAT IS
PROBLEMATIC FOR US.
IN ADDITION -- YOU KNOW DON'T
ASK DON'T TELL WAS ONLY LIFTED
IN TWENTY ELEVEN THERE ARE MANY
YEARS WHERE MANY MEMBERS OF THE
LGBT COMMUNITY WERE.
EXCLUDED FROM MILITARY SERVICE
AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BENEFIT
FROM THE PREFERENCE -- AND AS
WELL THE CURRENT BAND -- AND ALL
OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE GONNA BE
PRECLUDED WHILE THAT BAND IS IN
PLACE -- SO UNFORTUNATELY FOR
THOSE REASONS WE WE MUST OPPOSE
THE BILL BUT WE CERTAINLY DO.
APPRECIATE THE ASSEMBLY MEN'S
EFFORTS -- AND AND INTENT WITH
THE BILL THANK YOU THE PROJECT
THAT ANYONE ELSE OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
MARIE GO YOUR SHE HARD WITH THE
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS
ASSOCIATION.
RESPECTFULLY IN OPPOSITION --
APPRECIATE THE INTENT OF THE
BILL AND YOU KNOW OUR OUR
ATTORNEYS REPRESENT SERVICE
MEMBERS AND VETERANS AND
DISCRIMINATION AND USER TYPE
ACTIONS AND UNDERSTAND THE
EMPLOYMENT BARRIERS THAT THEY
FACE.
THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THAT
THIS CREATES A PREJUDICIAL
DISTINCTION BETWEEN VARIOUS
PROTECTED CLASSES UNDER THE FAIR
EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT.
AND WE KNOW THAT WOMEN AND LGBT
INDIVIDUALS ARE UNDER
REPRESENTED IN THE VETERANS
POPULATION AND THE WHOLE REASON
WHY.
A BILL LIKE THIS IS NECESSARY
WHY WE NEED STATUTORY
AUTHORIZATION IS BECAUSE THERE
IS THIS PRESUMPTION NOT SUCH A
VETERANS PREFERENCE POLICY IS
DISCRIMINATORY.
BECAUSE IT HAS AN ADVERSE IMPACT
ON WOMEN IN LGBT INDIVIDUALS.
SO -- FOR THOSE REASONS WE MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE OPPOSITION.
NOT WILL BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU -- FOR
BRINGING FOR THIS BILL IT'S AN
IMPORTANT BILL I I A I RECOGNIZE
THAT I MAY HAVE.
DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN SOME
THAT WERE STATED STAY BECAUSE I
DO BELIEVE THAT AS SOMEBODY IS
WILLING -- TO TO OFFER UP.
THEIR LIFE IN SERVICE TO THIS
COUNTRY THAT SOMETIMES WE WE
NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE LAWS
CAN.
CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOR THEM TO BE
EMPLOYED AFTER THAT SERVICE -- I
DO AT I'M NOT EVEN I I
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING AS
FAR AS THE TRANS GENDER BAND I
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S.
BEING DONE AND WHAT'S BEING SAID
EVEN ABOUT.
THE DON'T ASK DON'T TELL HOWEVER
OF COURSE I I KNOW A NUMBER OF
VETERANS WHO SERVED UNDER GOD
MASSIVE TELL THAT THAT WERE IN
FACT A IT WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT
THEY HAD TO HIDE.
BUT THERE THERE ARE NUMBER OF
LGBT Q. -- VETERANS FROM THAT
ERA I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE IF
SOMEBODY WAS DISHONORABLY
DISCHARGED FOR BEING GAY.
IN THE MILITARY THAT THEY WOULD
STILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS
[inaudible]
THERE [inaudible]
SO YES.
I AM SOMEWHAT EXPERT IS AREA THE
IN A VETERAN.
THIS BILL WAS AMENDED TWO YEARS
AGO -- TO GIVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
TO THE WHOLE LGBT Q. COMMUNITY.
THE WAY THE MILITARY WORKS IS IN
ORDER TO GET A DISHONORABLE
DISCHARGE YOU HAVE TO BE COURT
MARTIALED.
OKAY AND CONVICTED.
AND THAT'S A BIG DEAL IN THE
MILITARY.
SO. 99% OF GAYS AND I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THE PRESENT IS.
PERCENT IS BUT IT'S GOTTA BE
SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE.
THAT RECEIVED A DISHONORABLE
DISCHARGE LIKE ANY OTHER VETERAN.
COMMITTED CRIMINAL ACTS EXCEPT.
NOW THIS BILL AND IT'S A LITTLE
TRICKY IF YOU'RE NOT MILITARY
[inaudible]
I INCLUDED.
ANYONE THAT WAS DISCHARGE UNDER
HONORABLE CONDITIONS A GENERAL
DISCHARGE NO A GENERAL DISCHARGE
WAS USED BY THE MILITARY FOR
MANY YEARS THE BASICALLY GET RID
OF DON'T ASK DON'T TELL PEOPLE.
SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES IT
RESTORES EQUALITY AND HONOR. TO
THOSE VETERANS AND THEY WILL
HAVE THE SAME PREFERENCES ANYONE
ELSE SO I'M PROUD FROM AN L. G..
VIEW POINT. TO SUPPORT THIS CAN
I GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT BECAUSE
IT'S AN INJUSTICE SO WELL
POINTED OUT.
THAT THIS BILL CORRECTS -- SO --
THE OPPOSITION.
I'M ALWAYS CONFUSED I DON'T
THINK THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
POSITIVE IMPACT OF THIS BILL.
AND BECAUSE WE'RE HOLDING IT UP
FOR TRANS GENDER FROM THE
CURRENT ADMINISTRATION I WELCOME
THAT.
TOO BECAUSE THAT'S FAIR I GET IT
OKAY -- ONE OTHER COMMENT IF I
MAY YES PLEASE [inaudible]
SO. 80%.
THERE ARE SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
EIGHT HUNDRED VETERANS IN
CALIFORNIA THEY GET OUT OF THE
MILITARY EVERY YEAR.
SO IT'S NOT A LARGE POPULATION
HAS A SMALL POPULATION
[inaudible]
AND 80% MAYBE 78% ARE IN LISTED
PEOPLE THE JOINED UP FOR FOUR
YEARS WENT TO WAR PTSD
EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND THEY HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL
EDUCATION MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF
COLLEGE SO THERE'S THREE THINGS
THESE VETERANS HAVE TO DO
OTHERWISE OAKLAND UP HOMELESS
AND SCREWED UP ON YOU.
AND THAT IS ONE GET A JOB. TO GO
TO SCHOOL.
AND THREE STAY OFF THE HARD
DRUGS.
AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE MOST
VETERANS INCLUDING ME WILL BE
DRINKERS [inaudible]
OKAY.
AND IT'S THE ONES ARE GOING TO
THE DRUGS THAT SLIDE OFF THE
RAILS.
SO -- IN A CONTROLLED DRINKER A
BITE AT THAT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU WHEN THERE'S

YOU AGREED TO IT WASN'T
SOMETHING THAT YOU MOLD OVER YOU
UNDERSTOOD THAT -- BUT WITH THE
TRANSGENDER BAN ON ITS FACE THIS
BECOMES.

POLICY AND SO WE HAVE TO CLEARLY
ALLOW FOR THAT TO BE LIFTED --
AND ABOUT -- I I UNDERSTAND IT
YOU'RE ABOUT TO BELIEVE IT ALL
THE ONLY VIçT NAM VETERAN.
REMAINING IN THE LEGISLATURE.
SO I KNOW YOUR COMMITMENT TO

FAIR I UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION
POSITION JUST BASED ON SHEER
NUMBERS ALONE -- MAKE IT SUCH
THAT -- IT MAY TAKE MANY YEARS --
FOR FOR THE UP OPPOSITION TO

POLICY THAT WOULD BE TRULY A
GLOBAL.

ITEM [inaudible]
EIGHT THAT IS.
AB SEVEN NINETY AND AS I
INDICATED PREVIOUSLY IF YOU DO
HAVE WITNESSES HAVE UP TO SIX
MINUTES ON EITHER SIDE PLEASE
FANTASTIC THANK YOU SO MUCH MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS EIGHTY SEVEN
NINETY WOULD REQUIRE COMPANIES
OPERATING IN CALIFORNIA BY.
TWENTY TWENTY ONE AND ANNUALLY
THEREAFTER THAT HAVE A MARKET
VALUATION OVER ONE BILLION
DOLLARS TO PAY SUBCONTRACTED
SERVICE WORKERS WAGES THAT ARE
TIED TO CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
HOUSING.
OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT'S INCOME LEVELS FOR
THE COUNTY THEY ARE
SUBCONTRACTED TO WORK IN THESE
COMPANIES SHALL BE REQUIRED TO
PAY A WAGE TO CONTRACTED SERVICE
WORKERS THAT.
IF PAID FOR EIGHT EIGHT HOUR
WORK DAY OVER A FORTY HOUR WORK
WEEK WOULD EQUAL AN ANNUAL WAGE
THAT IS 85% OF H. CD'S AREA
MEDIAN INCOME.
MAJOR CORPORATIONS ARE MAKING
THE BIGGEST PROFITS IN HISTORY
AND ARE NOW RECEIVING
SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE TAX CUTS
INITIATED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IN ADDITION CORPORATIONS ARE
INCREASINGLY CONTRACTING OUT
SERVICE LABOR LEAVING THESE
WORKERS WITHOUT AN EMPLOYEE
TITLE THESE WORKERS INCLUDE
STAFF SUCH AS SECURITY GUARDS
BUS DRIVERS CUSTODIAL STAFF FOOD
SERVICE WORKERS.
LAUNDRY WORKERS WINDOW CLEANERS
AND OTHERS.
DUE TO THIS CLASSIFICATION AS A
CONTRACTED OR SUBCONTRACTED
WORKER THESE WORKERS ARE ALMOST
ALWAYS NOT RECEIVING THE HIGHER
WAGES THAT REGULAR EMPLOYEES
GENERALLY RECEIVE FOR THE VERY
SAME WORK.
THE FAIR WAGES REQUIRED BY THIS
BILL WILL HELP CLOSE THE UPWARD
MOBILITY AND INCOME INEQUALITY
GAPS THANK YOU AND I ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT
[inaudible]
ANYONE OPPOSITION.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TESTIFIED TODAY MY
NAME'S LAURA CURTIS I'M HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE.
WE ARE HERE IN OPPOSITION TO AB
SEVEN NINETY BECAUSE WE FEEL IT
WILL ARTIFICIALLY INCREASE THE
COST FOR THESE TYPES OF SERVICES --
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE BILLS
WELL INTENTIONED HOWEVER IF YOU
LOOK AT THE COST OF THE AREA
MEDIAN INCOME WHICH TAKES INTO
ACCOUNT.
MANY PROFESSIONS SUCH AS DOCTORS
LAWYERS ARCHITECTS AS WELL AS
LOWER WAGE WORKERS I'M IN SANTA
CLARA COUNTY THAT'S EIGHTY SEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR IF
YOU'RE LOOKING 85% OF THAT THAT
SEVENTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR.
THIS IS A VERY HIGH COST WE ARE
AFRAID THAT THIS WILL IN
ADDITION TO ARTIFICIALLY --
DRIVING UP THE COST OF THESE
SERVICES IT WILL ALSO ELIMINATE
JOBS FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT
CURRENTLY HAVE THESE JOBS ON A
CONTRACT BASIS.
BECAUSE MORE COMPANIES WILL HIRE
THESE PEOPLE IN HOUSE IN ORDER
TO TO A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT --
TASKS RATHER THAN HIRING EACH
ONE INDIVIDUALLY ADDITIONALLY WE
ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMPLIANCE
BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THAT IF A
COMPANY IS VALUED AT A BILLION
DOLLARS.
THEN THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE THIS
COST -- AND IF THE VALUATION
GOES UP OR DOWN IT'S UNCLEAR HOW
THE EMPLOYER IS GOING TO COMPLY
WITH THE CONTRACT FOR THIS.
ADDITIONALLY THEY WILL BE IN
BREACH OF CONTRACT LET'S SAY IF
THE EMPLOYEE MAYBE WORKS THIRTY
FIVE HOURS THAT WEEK RATHER THAN
A FULL FORTY THESE ARE CONTRACT
INTO -- WORKERS WHO THE EMPLOYER
DON'T IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
KEEPING TAP A TRACK OF EVERY
HOUR EVERY MINUTE THAT THEY WORK.
AND WE'RE CONCERNED THAT THEY
WILL BE IN VIOLATION OF THE
CONTRACT IF IT INDIVIDUAL WORKS
MORE OR LESS FOR THESE REASONS
WE ARE OPPOSED AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR IN HIS OFFICE.
AT TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS
BILL THANK YOU THANK YOU.
THEY WANT US IN OPPOSITION.
THE CALL RIGHT CALIFORNIA MANY
FACTORS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION ALSO POSE FOR THE
REASONS PREVIOUSLY STATED THANK
YOU THANK YOU.
I BRING BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
THE COMMITTEE [inaudible]
THE MOTION.
AND IS THERE ANY MOTION ON THIS.
HE IS OUR SECOND.
ALL RIGHT UP THANK YOU MISS
LEVINE I THINK IS IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION TO HAVE AND I
APPRECIATE THE FACT OPPOSITION --
WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES
I THINK THAT WE MEAN BEING AND
SILICON VALLEY -- ACTUALLY
RECOGNIZED INCOME INEQUALITY
THAT'S OCCURRING ACTUALLY
RECOGNIZE THAT THAT WE HAVE TO
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THIS BILL
RECOGNIZES THAT -- THEY'RE
PROBABLY A LOT OF DIFFERENT
ANGLES TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE
AND I THINK THAT THE
CONVERSATION HOPEFULLY -- WILL
HELP ILLUMINATE DIFFERENT
OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER WITH OUR EMPLOYERS WITH
LABOR -- AND WITH OUR
COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO MOVE IN THE
DIRECTION TOWARDS COMBATING
INCOME INEQUALITY SO. FOR THE
FOR THOSE REASONS I DOES ENJOY
AND I RECOMMENDATION -- AND YOU
MAY CLOSE.
YET THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS THE COMMITTEE
STAFF HAVE BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY
HELPFUL AND AND CRAFTING THIS
LEGISLATION.
I WAS REALLY.
HEARTENED TO HEAR SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION'S CONCERNS ABOUT
POSSIBLY MAKING MORE EMPLOYEES
OUT OF THEIR CONTRACTED WORKERS
WERE THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GET
BETTER BENEFITS AND HIGHER WAGES.
THE APPROACH THAT THIS BILL
TAKES RECOGNIZES THAT IN IN YOUR
DISTRICT AS WELL AS MINE MANY OF
OUR DISTRICTS THE AVERAGE RENT
OF AN APARTMENT IS APPROACH IS
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A
MONTH.
AT FIFTEEN DOLLARS AN HOUR WHEN
WE GET THERE THAT IS THE WHOLE
PAYCHECK FOR THE MONTH THERE IS
NO WAY. TO HAVE A SECURE FUTURE
OR TO GET BY WITHOUT SINKING
DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO DEBT --
FOR SO MANY HARD WORKING
FAMILIES AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP IN HELPING
ADVANCES TODAY I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU.
A BAND CENTRIC POLO PLEASE.
MOTION IS DUE PASSED TO
APPROPRIATIONS KALRA AYE KALRA
AYE FLORA CREEL.
DEEP NO DEEP NO GONZALEZ.
GONZALEZ I JONES SAWYER.
JONES SAWYER I THREE OF US.
SO PLACE AT THE BILL ON CALL
THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU
[inaudible]
MISS GONZALEZ.
ASSEMBLY IS ALSO ITEM.

SIX MINUTES FOR EACH SIDE -- CAN
BREAK IT UP ANYWAY YOU'D LIKE.
AND I DO NOT HOLD THE TIME FOR
IT IF THERE IS ANY TRANSLATING
SORRY I DON'T KNOW THAT TIME
AGAINST.
JUST A PROCEDURAL QUESTION WE
ARE ACTUALLY DEBATING THIS -- I
THINK MOST MEMBER SPEAKS SPANISH
WOULD YOU LIKE A TRANSLATION DO
WE HAVE TO HAVE A TRANSLATION
IT'S REALLY UP.
TO I WOULD PREFER TRANSLATE OKAY

[inaudible]

I JUST WANT TO CHECK ON THAT.
AT GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR -- IN
WELCOME WHAT AN APPROPRIATE DATE
TODAY TO BE HEARING THIS BILL --
IT'S DENIM DAY AND OF COURSE WE
TALK ABOUT A SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
THIS BILL REALLY CAME OUT OF
SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE WORKPLACE
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON WITH OUR JANITORIAL
SECTOR FOR MANY YEARS NOW.
AND BEFORE THE ME TOO MOVEMENT
CAME ALONG OF COURSE THERE WAS
THE OUT BASKET MOVEMENT --
STARTED BY THESE REALLY BRAVE --
WOMEN WHO SERVE IN A JANITORIAL
SECTOR TO SAY THAT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT AND RAPE
ON THE JOB WAS NOT OKAY -- WE
HAD AN INITIAL BILL THAT CREATED
REGISTRY AND PROVIDED FOR
TRAINING AND AS WE ARE MOVING
FORWARD WITH THAT BILL WE
REALIZE THAT THE TRAINING -- THE
JANITORS CANON SHOULD RECEIVE
WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE TO
COME FROM THEIR PEERS FROM OTHER
JANITORS TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY
COME IN AND TEACH.
ON JENNER'S WITHOUT THE THEIR
LANGUAGE WITHOUT THEIR CULTURE
ABOUT HOW -- TO PREVENT TO
UNDERSTAND THEIR THERE WERE LAWS
HOW TO PREVENT SEXUAL HARASSMENT
AND ASSAULT REALLY DOESN'T MATCH
UP WITH THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR
JANITORS.
SO THEY CAME BACK WITH ANOTHER
BILL LAST YEAR TO TRY TO ENSURE
THAT THE TRAINING COULD BE DONE
BY -- PROMOTE TOLD US OUR PEER
REVIEWERS THEMSELVES -- IT'S A
GREAT DEAL UNFORTUNATELY -- OUR
LAST GOVERNOR IN HIS A SPLASH OF
SIGNING ME TO BILLS SEEM TO LEFT
OUT ALL WORKING CLASS WOMEN.
AND THIS WAS ONE OF OUR MANY
VETOES THAT WE GOT SO WE'RE BACK
WITH IT BECAUSE IF THERE'S ONE
THING YOU CAN LEARN FROM OUR OUR
JANITORS IS THEY ARE UNWILLING
TO STOP AT A NOW -- SO WITH THAT
I HAVE.
I HAVE FOLKS HERE READY TO
TESTIFY AND TRANSLATE
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
HI A GOOD AFTERNOON I'D LIKE TO
THANK THIS COMMITTEE ENTER KALRA
FOR ALLOWING ME TO TESTIFY
BEFORE YOU -- MY NAME IS CENTER
AND RE GUESTS AND I'M THE CEO OF
THE CALIFORNIA COALITION AGAINST
SEXUAL ASSAULT APPRECIATE THOSE
OF YOU CAME OUT TODAY FOR DENIM
DAY AND WEARING.
JEANS TODAY.
AND I'M HERE TODAY TO TESTIFY ON
BEHALF FIVE FORTY SEVEN THE
JANITORIAL WORKERS SEXUAL
VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT
PREVENTION TRAINING BILL. FOR
DECADES SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS
OR SURVIVORS AS OUR PREFERRED
TERM HAVE BEEN RISING UP TO SAY
ENOUGH. TO SAY WE DO NOT ACCEPT
ABUSE AS INEVITABLE IN OUR LIVES.
THIS BILL IS THE SPIRIT BY WITH
EACH THE ANTI VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN MOVEMENT WAS BUILT
BEGINNING IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES.
THE MOVEMENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED A
LOT BUILDING A STATEWIDE SAFETY
NET DEDICATED TO LIMITING SEXUAL
ABUSE AND ELEVATING
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
MISCONDUCT AND ABUSE.
UNFORTUNATELY OUR EFFORTS IN THE
PAST FORTY EIGHT YEARS
OVERLOOKED CERTAIN COMMUNITIES.
MUCH LIKE ANTI RAPE ADVOCATES
DID IN THE SEVENTIES.
TODAY MANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES
ARERISING UP ALSO TO SAY ENOUGH.
BASTA.
WE CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER.
WE WILL TAKE HEALING TRAINING
AND PREVENTION EFFORTS INTO OUR
OWN HANDS.
CALIFORNIA'S JANITORS ARE ONE
SUCH GROUP.
THEY ARE A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE HAD THE COURAGE TO COME
FORWARD AND EDUCATE MANY OF US
ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES IN THE
WORKPLACE.
THEY HAVE ALSO SPENT THE LAST
THREE AND A HALF YEARS BECOMING
EXPERTS IN THE DRESSING AND
PREVENTING SEXUAL HARASSMENT
MISCONDUCT AND ABUSE ON THE
NIGHT SHIFT.
I AM HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT A. B.
FIVE FORTY SEVEN WHICH WOULD
RECOGNIZE THESE WORKERS AS
EXPERTS.
NOT ONLY IN THEIR LIVED
EXPERIENCE AS JACK AS JANITORS
BUT ALSO SO UNIQUELY SUITED TO
BE PEER TRAINERS WHO DELIVER THE
IN PERSON SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
AND HARASSMENT PREVENTION
TRAINING TO EMPLOYERS AND
COVERED WORKERS.
AB FIVE FORTY SEVEN CALLS FOR
PEER TRAINERS TO COMPLETE A
MINIMUM FORTY HOURS ON THE
VARIOUS ASPECTS.
OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ABUSE
TO DATE.
MY ORGANIZATION THE CALIFORNIA
COALITION AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT
HAS TRAINED WELL OVER A HUNDRED
WORKERS TO DELIVER THIS PEER
TRAINING.
ADDITIONALLY EACH SUCH TRAINER
WILL RECEIVE A MINIMUM OF TEN
HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT TRAINING EACH YEAR
AS WELL AS MEET ALL OF THE
REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THIS
BILL -- CALCOT SAYS.
OR A SURE THAT EACH OF THE
TRAINED PEER.
TRAINERS AND EDUCATORS RECEIVE
TRAINING WHICH COVERS THE
CONTENT AND MEETS THE STANDARDS
OF THE STATE CERTIFIED TRAINING.
THAT ALSO RECEIVED -- BY THOSE
WORKING ON BEHALF OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT VICTIMS IT'S THE SAME
TRAINING WHICH RAPE CRISIS
ADVOCATES WHO HAVE COMPLETED
WOULD HAVE COMPLETED FOR THE
LAST THIRTY WE YEARS.
BY WHICH THEY HAVE BECOME
QUALIFIED AS PEER ADVOCATES AND
TRAINERS.
IN THE ANTI SEXUAL VIOLENCE
MOVEMENT WE KNOW THAT PEER
EMPOWERMENT AND TRAINING MODELS
WORK.
CALIFORNIA NOT LAW ALSO
RECOGNIZES THE VALUE OF THESE
MODELS.
PEER MODELS WORK BECAUSE THEY
RECOGNIZE THAT THOSE AFFECTED BY
SEXUAL VIOLENCE ARE EXPERTS IN
THEIR OWN LIVES.
AND AS SUCH ARE THE BEST SUITED
TO DEVELOP VICTIM CENTERED
STRATEGIES.
PIERRE TRAINING FACILITATES THE
DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION
BECAUSE TRAINERS ARE OFTEN SEEN
AS BEING APPROACHABLE AND ARE
RECOGNIZED FOR HAVING WALKED IN.
OTHER ISSUES.
EDUCATION HAS ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO
BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHER
TYPES OF ADULT LEGIT EDUCATION
IN TERMS OF CHANGING BEHAVIORS
ATTITUDES AND NORMS.
JANITORS KNOW BEST THE WAYS IN
WHICH UP SEXUAL HARASSMENT
MISCONDUCT AND ABUSE PLAY OUT IN
THEIR INDUSTRY.
RECOGNIZING THEM AS PURE
TRAINERS WOULD HELP TO BUILD
STRENGTH IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT
[inaudible]
FIND STRENGTH.
AND AGENCY WHEN THEY CAN BE A
PART OF THE SOLUTION TO THEIR
OWN PLIGHT.
TODAY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD.
IN BUILDING WORKER CENTERED
SOLUTIONS YOUR VOTE HERE TODAY --
PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CATALYZE A TRANSFORMATION IN THE
JANITORIAL INDUSTRY AND BY
EXTENSION OTHER INDUSTRIES WHO
CAN ALSO ADOPT SIMILAR PEER
MODELS.
SEXUAL ABUSE IS NOT INEVITABLE
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT QUITE
A BIT THIS MORNING.
IT CAN BE PREVENTED AND I ASK
THIS COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT
GENDERS AND BEING PART OF THE
SOLUTION TO AND ABUSE WITHIN
THEIR INDUSTRY BY MOVING THIS

ANYONE IN OPPOSITION.
HI GOOD AFTERNOON MORE CURTIS
HERE FROM THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE THANK YOU SO MUCH
MISTER CHAIRMAN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TESTIFIED TODAY WE
ARE SYMPATHETIC TO THE ISSUE AT
HAND -- WITH REGARD TO SEXUAL
HARASSMENT SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
VIOLENCE AND CAL CHAMBER AND ITS
MEMBERS OBVIOUSLY -- DO NOT
SUPPORT ANY TYPE OF ACTS OF
VIOLENCE LIKE THAT OUR CONCERNS
WITH THE BILL ARE WITHIN THE
NUANCES -- BUT WE ARE UNDER THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER IS COMING OUT WITH
REGULATIONS SPECIFICALLY ON THIS
TOPIC AND WE DO AGREE WITH THE
PREVIOUS VETO MESSAGE IN THAT WE
SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE TIME FOR
THOSE REGULATIONS TO COME OUT
AND THEN DETERMINE WHETHER OR
NOT CHANGES NEED TO BE.
MADE ADDITIONALLY OUR CONCERNS
WITH THIS BILL -- DEAL WITH THE
FACT THAT THE THE CURRENT
VERSION ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO
ADDRESS THE ADDITIONAL
DUPLICATIVE -- NATURE OF
ADDITIONAL TRAINING HOWEVER IN
SUBDIVISION SIX D. IT STILL SAYS
THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HIRED
IN ADDITION TO THAT -- SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TRAINER THAT IS
PROVIDED WITH REGARD TO THE
GOVERNMENT CODE REGULATIONS THAT
WOULD MEAN YOU HAVE TO HIRE
APPEAR TRAINER IN ADDITION.
TO THE OUR GOVERNMENT CO TRAINER
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CONCERNS
ADDITIONALLY THE STATUTORY
MANDATE WITH REGARD TO PAY AND
THEN THAT THE LIST OF ENTITIES
THAT COULD PROVIDE THIS TRAINING
CONTROL THE MARKET PLACE.
AND SO OUR CONCERN IS IS THAT
THEY WOULD ADD ONS UNNECESSARILY
DRIVE UP THE COST FOR THIS TYPE
OF TRAINING AND CONTROL WHO CAN
PROVIDE THE TRAINING CURRENTLY
UNDER THE GOVERNMENT CODE AS
LONG AS YOU ARE QUALIFIED
TRAINER.
YOU MAY PROVIDE THE TRAINING WE
THINK THAT THAT'S A BETTER --
ASSESSMENT IF YOU ARE QUALIFIED
AND CAN MEET THOSE STANDARDS AND
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRAIN
RATHER THAN TO HIRING OFF THE
LIST OF FOR THE FOR THE THOSE
ARE OUR CONCERNS AS OF NOW AND
WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE BILL AND
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION.
NOT MOBILE BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE.
ALL RIGHT -- I'D BE HAPPY TO
MAKE A MOTION IN SUPPORT.
OF THE BILL.
SECOND WE'LL MOTION ON THE FLOOR --
AND I WANT TO THANK US ORGANS
ALSO ONCE AGAIN -- BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD -- I WANT TO THANK
THE WITNESSES THAT -- AT BOTH
THE WITNESSES AS WELL AS THOSE I
SPOKE IN SUPPORT -- YOU KNOW
THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
TENSION ATTENTION THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS AND RIGHTFULLY SO
THE ME TOO MOVEMENT.
THAT HAS HAD SOME OF THE THE
ATTENTION OF HOLLYWOOD.
IN LEGISLATIVE HALLS LEGISLATURE
IN CORPORATE AMERICA BUT I WANT
TO COMMEND THESE JENNER'S THAT
BEFORE THE ME TO MOVE AND WE'RE
RAISING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE --
AND YOU KNOW I'VE I'VE REMEMBER
WATCHING RAPE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT.
AND I THINK THE COURAGE HAS BEEN
DEMONSTRATED -- UP BY THE THE
THE THE JANITORS MANY OF WHOM
ARE HERE TODAY BUT IN GENERAL
THROUGHOUT THIS NATION.
AND RAISING ATTENTION BEFORE IT
WAS COOL BEFORE IT WAS HOLLYWOOD
BEFORE IT WAS POPULAR -- BUT I I
THINK DESERVES A GREAT DEAL OF
CREDIT.
AND SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE
THAT CAME OUT AND EVERYONE OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THREE
FOUR FIVE YEARS -- PLUS THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISING ATTENTION --
THAT HAVE BEEN FIRED THAT HAVE
BEEN HARASSED FOR RAISING
ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE FOR YOUR
COURAGEOUS NESS -- AND I I'D
EXTEND GREAT GRATITUDE AND
ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT THIS BILL AND
IT DOES -- IT DOES HAVE AN AYE
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CHAIR
AND I'M HOPEFUL.
THAT WE CAN GET THIS TO THE
GOVERNOR'S THAT ARE NEW
GOVERNOR'S DESK AND AND FINALLY
MOVE ON THIS I THINK IT MAKES
SENSE TO HAVE THOSE DOING THE
TRAINING THAT UNDERSTAND.
HOW TO TRAIN THOSE THAT ARE PUT
IN SITUATIONS THAT CAN BE VERY
DANGEROUS I THINK IT MAY IT WILL
MAKE FOR A SAFER AND HAPPIER
WORKPLACE WHICH I THINK WILL
MAKE FOR A?
BETTER EMPLOYEES FOR THE
EMPLOYERS TO SO I THINK IT IT
REALLY IS A WIN WIN SITUATION
AND WITH THAT.
SOME OF HIS OFFICE WOULD LIKE TO
CLOSE I WOULD AND JUST IN IN
TERMS OF THE OPPOSITION IT SEEMS
FROM THE COMMENTS YOU DON'T
TRULY UNDERSTAND THE IMPETUS
BEHIND THIS BILL.
AND THAT THE TRAINERS THEMSELVES
HAVE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE
WORKPLACE THE CULTURE -- THE THE
EVEN COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OF THE
FOLKS WHO -- THEY'RE TALKING TO
IT IS VERY EASY FROM A LEGAL
STANDPOINT I GUESS FROM A
QUALIFIED TRAINER TO COME IN AND
SAY DON'T LET SOMEBODY TO THIS
TO YOU.
THAT'S AN EASY THING WE'VE ALL
BEEN THROUGH SEXUAL HARASSMENT
TRAINING AND WE'VE SCOFFED AT
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE TOLD
TO US.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
LARGELY A FEMALE POPULATION WHO
IS WORKING BY THEMSELVES AT
NIGHT OFTEN AFRAID OF BEING
EXPOSED FOR THEIR IMMIGRATION
STATUS BEING -- HAVING THEIR
SPOUSES BE TOLD SOMEHOW THEY'RE
COMPLICIT IN THIS -- CONCERN
ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY -- THEIR
WORKPLACE THE THE I I WOULD
VENTURE TO SAY ANYONE WHO HAS
WATCHED RAPE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
UNDERSTANDS WHY THE MOST
APPROPRIATE TRAINER TO TRAIN
ABOUT THE SUBJECT WOULD BE
ANOTHER JANITOR SOMEBODY WHO
UNDERSTANDS AS CONDITIONS.
THEIR THEIR POSITION IN LIFE IN
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM AND
ALSO UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT WE
COMING HERE WHO DON'T HAVE THE
SAME PROTECTIONS OF LOT FROM
THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
AND DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF
WHAT -- IS APPROPRIATE IS NOT
APPROPRIATE IN FROM THE ROLE OF
THE JANITOR TO BE ABLE TO ASK
THOSE QUESTIONS IN A COMFORTABLE
SETTING NOT TO SOME STRANGER
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW BUT SOMEBODY
WHO HAS -- WHO UNDERSTANDS YOU
AND AND UNDERSTAND YOUR LANGUAGE
IS IMPERATIVE AND SO I DON'T
KNOW QUITE FRANKLY -- I I I HOPE.
THAT THAT PERHAPS PEOPLE HAVEN'T
SEEN RIP ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
COULD SEE WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE AND HAVE TO I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT BAD JOKES SIR.
OR INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT RAPE AND ASSAULT
AND HOW WOMEN CAN PROTECT
THEMSELVES FROM THAT I ALSO WHEN
AND WITH ONE LOOK NO TO REALLY
THINK -- OUR OUR MAIL JANITORS
WHO CAN I HAVE SEEN SO MANY MALE
JANITORS COME OUT IN THAT THAT
SHOWS JUST HOW FAR WE'VE COME IN
THIS MOVEMENT AND HOW FAR.
ON THE EMPOWERMENT OF THESE
WORKERS HAVE MATTERED BOTH -- TO
THEMSELVES AND TO OTHERS SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY ABOUT
THINK TYLER.

F. OUR A TO THE UNIQUE WORK
SCHEDULE AND CIRCUMSTANCES A
FLIGHT CREW MEMBERS.
AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS
ALREADY DONE.
THE CFRA ALLOWS FOR EMPLOYEES TO
TAKE TWELVE WEEKS OF PAID OR
UNPAID JOB PROTECTED LEAVE AND
KEEP THEIR SAME HEALTH COVERAGE
IF THEY HAVE WORK.
TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY HOURS
IN THE PREVIOUS TWELVE MONTHS
UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE
NATURE OF THEIR WORK FULL TIME
FLIGHT CREW MEMBERS WORK A
SCHEDULE OF THREE TO FOUR DAYS
AND THIS DOES NOT MAKE THEM
ELIGIBLE FOR THE CFRA.
THIS MEANS THAT DURING
VULNERABLE TIMES FLIGHT CREWS DO
NOT HAVE ALL OF THE PROTECTIONS
OF THE C. F. R. A. MOST NOTABLY
THEY MAY.
NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR
EMPLOYER PROVIDED HEALTH
INSURANCE AB SEVENTEEN FORTY
EIGHT WOULD MORE APPROPRIATELY
USE THAT FEDERAL FAMILY AND
MEDICAL LEAVE ACT WORK OUR

FOUR HOURS FOR FLIGHT CREW.
CFRA ELIGIBILITY SO THAT DURING
FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE -- FLIGHT
CREW MEMBERS WITH WHAT UP ONE
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING
UNINSURED AND THEY CAN FOCUS ON

OVER TIME AND OVER TIME WE'VE
DONE IS ALLOW THE LABOR CODE TO
KIND OF CATCH UP WITH A LOT OF
THESE NEW FINANCING MECHANISMS
THAT ARE PROVIDED TO PRIVATE
ENTITIES FOR ESSENTIALLY PUBLIC
WORKS PROJECTS.
WHEN YOU BUILD USING THE
PREVAILING WAGE YOU'RE ACTUALLY
CREATING MIDDLE CLASS JOB
OPPORTUNITIES AS WAS STATED BUT
ALSO EMBEDDED IN THE PREVAILING
WAGE IS PENSION AND HEALTH CARE
AND A PARTNERSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS
TO GIVE BACK TO THE PRESSURE
PROGRAM SO THEY COULD TRAIN THE
NEXT GENERATION OF SKILLED
WORKERS?
WE'VE ALSO CREATED A PIPELINE IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH MANY COMMUNITY
GROUPS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ENSURE THERE'S PRE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS FOR A
PRESSURE PROGRAM PREPARATIONS.
THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST IN
THAT BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT
TARGETED POPULATIONS I FOR
EXAMPLE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES
PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY
INCARCERATED EMANCIPATED YOUTH
IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM WOMEN
WHICH ARE TRYING TO GET MORE
WOMEN TO THE CONSTRUCTION TRADES.
WHEN A PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT
CARRIES A PREVAILING WAGE IT
CARRIES A LOT OF THOSE
REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE THAT
THERE'S ACCESS FOR THOSE
INDIVIDUALS TO WORK ON THOSE
PUBLIC WORKS?
NOTHINGIS MORE IMPORTANT TO
BUILD AN EDUCATIONAL FACILITY
USING HIGH QUALITY SKILLED AND
TRAINED WORKERS FOR THOSE
REASONS WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
THANK YOU.
WEBSITE BUT THAT.
THIS TO TURN MEMBERS CAITLIN
VEGA FOR THE CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION ALL SECURE AND STRONG
SUPPORT. ONE OF THE GREATEST
CHALLENGES WE FACE IN CALIFORNIA
IS THE DISAPPEARING MIDDLE CLASS
AND THE FACT THAT TOO MANY JOBS
I LEAVE WORKERS STUCK IN POVERTY
WHAT THIS BILL REALLY IS ABOUT
IS THAT WHEN EVER WE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY -- ESPECIALLY IN
REGARDS TO A PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES
TO A GOOD CAREER TO GOOD JOBS TO
STABILITY FOR FAMILIES WE SHOULD
BE TAKING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES SO
WHAT HERE INSTRUCTS THE PART OF
THIS MEASURE.

FIVE FIVE FIVE I NAY PROCEED
MANY EVERY YEAR RIGHT HERE ALL
RIGHT.
THANK YOU -- MISTER CHAIR AND
GOOD AFTERNOON.
AB FIVE FIVE FIVE ALLOWS
EMPLOYEES TO USE AT LEAST FIVE
PAID SICK DAYS A YEAR WITHOUT
FACING WEIGHT LOSS OR
RETALIATION. FIVE YEARS AGO
CALIFORNIA SET A NATIONAL
STANDARD BY PROVIDING SIX POINT
FIVE MILLION WORKERS WITH LONG
OVERDUE PROTECTIONS OF THREE
PAID SICK DAYS A YEAR.
OTHER US STATES IN MAJOR CITIES
FOLLOWED ALONG AND SOME AREAS IN
IN METRO CALIFORNIAN FACT -- HAD
HAD PRECEDED US BUT THESE AREAS
ALL HAVE A HIGHER STANDARD
CALIFORNIA -- CITY SUCH AS SAN
FRANCISCO OAKLAND AND REBUILD
BERKELEY LOS ANGELES AND SAN
DIEGO A PASSER OWN ORDINANCES
GRANNY WORKERS WITH EVEN GREATER
PAID SICK LEAVE BENEFITS THE
NATIONAL STANDARD.
RANGES BETWEEN FIVE AND SEVEN
DAYS BUT WORKERS WHO CAN'T
BENEFIT FROM LOCAL ORDINANCES
STILL DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT PAID
SICK LEAVE AND ARE MORE LIKELY
TO REPORT GOING TO WORK WITH A
CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS AND RISK
INFECTING OTHERS.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENS OFTEN
BECAUSE FOR WORKING FAMILIES
STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
EVEN IF YOU I'M PAID DAYS OFF
COULD COST THEM THEIR ENTIRE
MONTHLY BUDGET FOR GROCERIES.
FLU RELATED HOSPITALIZATION AND
MORTALITY RATES THE PAST SEVERAL
YEARS HAVE BEEN UNPRECEDENTED
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL
AND PREVENTION REPORTS OF PEOPLE
WHO FELL ILL WITH THE FLU.
NEEDED AT LEAST ONE WEEK TO
RECOVER.
IT'S HIGH TIME THAT WE STRENGTH
IN THIS CRITICAL SAFETY NET
STOPPING WORKING FAMILIES IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY MUST CHOOSE
BETWEEN SACRIFICING THEIR PAY IN
COMING TO WORK SICK.
IN ANTICIPATION OF A THE
OPPOSITION'S ARGUMENTS I WILL
REMIND FOLKS OF FIVE YEARS AGO
THEY WARNED US THAT THIS WOULD
BE A JOB KILLER THE JOBS WOULD
OF COURSE FLEE FROM CALIFORNIA
AS A RESULT.
OF PROVIDING JUST THREE PAID
SICK DAYS AND I'M SURE WE WILL
HEAR THAT AGAIN TODAY PERHAPS
NOT WITH A JOB KILLER TITLE BUT
THE SAME THING.
I WOULD VENTURE TO ASK THEM HOW
MANY JOBS AND IMPACT -- HAVE
HAVE BEEN LOST IN CALIFORNIA AS
A RESULT OF PROVIDING PAID SICK
DAYS IN FACT WE KNOW THAT --
THERE THERE HASN'T BEEN AT TO
OUR KNOWLEDGE RECORDED LOSS OF A
JOB AS A RESULT OF LIEU OF
PROVIDING PAID SICK DAYS AND IN
FACT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE FOLLOWED
ALONG IN PROVIDED EVEN MORE.
WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY.
FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES IF YOU
WELL WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE
INDIVIDUALS NEED TO TAKE TIME
OFF WHEN THEY'RE SICK -- AND AS
WE MOVE FORWARD THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT THAT WOULD BE A
STANDARD -- FOR THE ENTIRE STATE
THAT MAKES SENSE I WANT TO
REMIND PEOPLE THAT IF YOU LIVE
IN WORK IN A CITY LIKE SAN DIEGO
YOU COULD LITERALLY -- WORK AT
THE SAME ESTABLISHMENT PART TIME
ACROSS CITY LINES HAVE A
DIFFERENTIATION OF ANYWHERE
BETWEEN -- TWO AND SEVEN DAYS OF
OF SICK TIME SO THIS IT DOESN'T
MAKE A LOT OF SENSE -- YOU COULD
BE WORKING FOR THE SAME COMPANY
AND HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
BENEFITS AND IT'S TIME TO
STANDARDIZE THOSE AND PUSH THEM
UP JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE I
RESPECTFULLY ASK.
FOR NINE THANK YOU.
WITNESSES SUPPORT YES HELLO MY
NAME IS JENNY CASSIDY I AM THE
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA WORK
AND FAMILY COALITION WERE
STATEWIDE ALLIANCE.
OF ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS
AND WE'RE UNITED BEHIND --
WORKPLACE POLICIES THAT HELP
CALIFORNIA FAMILIES THRIVE AND
WE'RE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF AB.
FIVE FIVE FIVE AND WE HAVE FOUND
THE PAID SICK DAYS IS REALLY A
VERY NO NONSENSE POLICY THAT
REALLY DOES WONDERS TO HELP THE
HEALTH AND WELL BEING IN THE
ECONOMIC SECURITY OF OUR
FAMILIES IN THE STATE.
BUT FURTHERMORE IT'S ALSO THE
NUMBER ONE THING THE CDC SAYS TO
DO WHEN YOU HAVE A CONTAGIOUS --
SICKNESS THAT YOU NEED TO STAY
HOME AND SO IT'S ALSO FOR US
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE FAMILIES
IT'S ALSO REALLY ABOUT OUR
COMMUNITIES.
EVEN OUR BUSINESSES AND AND HOW
WE THRIVE IN CALIFORNIA -- I
THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT -- ASSEMBLY MEMBER GNZALEZ
MENTIONED IS THAT YOU KNOW
ALTHOUGH THE US IS QUITE ALONE
IN BEING ONE OF THE FEW
COUNTRIES THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE
THIS AS A FEDERAL POLICY WE IN
CALIFORNIA REALLY AREN'T ALONE
IN THAT MORE AND MORE STATES.
AND LOCALITIES ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY SOMETHING LIKE FORTY
THREE PAID SICK DAYS LAWS OF
VARIOUS SIZES BUT MOST ARE FIVE
AND MORE
AND SO IT REALLY IS TIME TO BE
ABLE TO EXPAND THIS -- Là A
LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND ALSO JUST
TO KIND OF HI LATE A LITTLE BIT
OF WHAT ASSEMBLY MEMBER GONZALEZ
SAID.
IT'S REALLY -- IN CALIFORNIA
WE'RE JUST SEEING SO MANY
FAMILIES STRUGGLING THAT EVEN
JUST LOSING ONE TO TWO DAYS TO
PAY WE'RE SEEING IN OUR
COALITION MORE AND MORE PEOPLE.
HAVING SOMETHING LIKE SOME YOU
KNOW ECONOMIC THINGS THAT SEEM
KIND OF SMALL REALLY IMPACTING
THE ABILITY TO PAY RENT THE
ABILITY TO BUY GROCERIES.
SO THIS REALLY DOES HAVE TO BE
EXTENDED RIGHT NOW PEOPLE CAN
TAKE THREE BUT LIKE MY KIDS GOT
REALLY SICK WITH THE FLU LAST
YEAR AND THEY DID NEED A WEEK TO
RECOVER.
SO YOU KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'RE FINDING IS THAT.
WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THEIR
PARENTS NEARBY?
I'M NOT JUST FOR WHAT YOU'RE
DOING FOR YOUR KIDS GIVING THE
MEDICINE ETCETERA BUT STUDIES
SHOW THAT THAT PSYCHOLOGICAL
COMFORT AND CARE OF HAVING
SOMEBODY CARE FOR YOU WHEN
YOU'RE SICK ESPECIALLY A CHILD
AND HAVING THEIR PARENT THERE.
IS REALLY KEY TO THEM GETTING
BETTER SO I FEEL LIKE THIS IS
JUST A VERY HUMANE GOOD THING
THAT WE NEED TO DO IN CALIFORNIA.
AND I'M VERY -- THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR HEARING MY TESTIMONY
AND I'M -- JUST I ALSO REQUEST
YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ANYONE ELSE IN

HI GOOD AFTERNOON MARC CURTIS
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THANK YOU SO
MUCH MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY TODAY WE
ARE HERE IN OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION.
ON AB FIVE FIVE FIVE WE DO
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR TAKING
INTO CONSIDERATION THE LOCAL
ORDINANCE ISSUE AND PRE EMPTING
MOST PROVISIONS OF THE LAW.
PART OF THE AMENDMENTS WERE
REQUESTING IS THAT IT BE ACROSS
THE BOARD PREEMPTION -- I DO
UNDERSTAND THE AUTHOR'S INTENT
OF ALLOWING ADDITIONAL DAYS OF
SICK LEAVE HOWEVER FOR EMPLOYERS --
OVER THERE ALREADY TRYING TO
STRUGGLE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT
LOCAL ORDINANCES DIFFERENT WAGE
RATES FOR DIFFERENT ORDINANCES
AND ACROSS THE BOARD PREEMPTION
IS SOMETHING THAT WE THINK WOULD
ESPECIALLY HELP -- EMPLOYERS IN
THE SITUATION ADDITIONALLY WE
ARE ASKING THAT -- THE RATE OF
PAY BE BASED ON THE BASE RATE
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS IS
THAT THERE'S A LOT OF ANECDOTAL
EVIDENCE WITH REGARD TO A
EMPLOYEES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PAID
SICK LEAVE.
ON HOLIDAYS SO WHEN THEY'RE
GETTING THEIR HIGHER RATE OF PAY
AND ADDITIONALLY AT THE WHEN
THEY'RE AT THE END OF HARVEST
AND THINGS LIKE THAT WHEN THEY
ARE AT A HIGHER RATE OF PAY
BECAUSE THEY ALL CALL IN SICK AT
THE SAME TIME.
BECAUSE THEY'LL MAKE MORE MONEY
ON THOSE DAYS THAN IF THEY
CALLED IN SICK HONORED ON A
REGULAR WORK DAY ADDITIONALLY
AND THERE'S DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION IN THE BILL FOR
I. H. S. S. WORKERS.
ARE OF THE INDUSTRY AND WE FEEL
THAT IF THERE'S DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION FOR ONE INDUSTRY
AGAIN IT SHOULD BE APPLICABLE
ACROSS THE BOARD.
AND LASTLY -- VERIFICATION AGAIN
THIS IS TO HELP ALLEVIATE SOME
OF THE ABUSE OF THE SICK LEAVE
LAW AND AND IN SAN DIEGO YOU'RE
ALLOWED VERIFICATION AFTER THREE
CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF SICKLY. FOR
THE LAST TWO FOR THE FOURTH AND
FIFTH DAY AND THE EMPLOYER IS A
LOT TO ASK FOR A DOCTOR'S NOTE
IF YOU TAKE FIVE CONSECUTIVE
FORTY FIVES TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS
WERE ASKING FOR THAT AS WELL.
SO FOR THESE REASONS WE ARE IN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
CHRISTOPHER KAYLEE ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA BUILDS
ASSOCIATION MY COLLEAGUES AT THE
FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN I ACTUALLY
HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING
WITH THE ASSEMBLY WOMAN HONOR A
BE FIFTEEN TWENTY TWO AND
SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS SIGNED SHE
ACTUALLY CAME.
IN SAN DIEGO AND SPOKE AT OUR
ANNUAL CONVENTION -- ABOUT THAT
NEW BILL SO WE HAD A LOT OF
HISTORY ON THIS MEASURE I JUST
WANTED TO ADD TO TO CONCERNS IN
ADDITION TO THOSE ENUMERATED BY
MISS CURTIS WHICH IS.
THERE IS COST US PARTICULARLY
FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS SMALL
EMPLOYER IN THE STATE.
AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT IN A
BROADER CONTEXT.
IN THAT WE HAVE THE HIGHEST
BASED SALES TAX RATE THE HIGHEST
PERSONAL INCOME TAX RATES.
THE HIGHEST ENERGY IN WORKERS
COMP COSTS ANA AMONGST THE
WESTERN STATES IT CETERA.
THE OTHER THING IS WE ARE A VERY
FAMILY FRIENDLY -- IT LEAVE THE
STATE -- THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
OF STATE LEGISLATURES HAS OFTEN
RAIN CALIFORNIA M AMONGST
THE MOST FAMILY FRIENDLY FOR ALL
THOSE PROTECTED LEAVES SO.
IN PARTICULARLY THE AMENDMENTS
THAT -- MISS CURTIS AS OUTLINED
IS WHAT OUR ORGANIZATIONS DESIRE
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE IN
OPPOSITION.
THE CALL RISE CALIFORNIA MANY
FACTORS IN TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION I JUST WANT TO KNOW
ONE CORRECTION FROM THE ANALYSIS
WE ARE OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED NOT
OPPOSED TO THE BILL -- AND WE
ARE HAVE OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
AUTHORS OFFICE. TO DEAL WITH --
SOME CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN OUR INDUSTRY RELATED
TO THE MISUSE OF THE PAID SICK
LEAVE BENEFIT WE WANT TO
PRESERVE IT FOR THAT -- INTENDED
PURPOSE OF THAT BENEFIT AND IF I
CAN JUST OFFER AN EXAMPLE AND
RELATED TO THE MINIMUM
INCREMENTS THAT THE PAID SICK
LEAVE CAN BE USED WE HAVE
COMPANIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AS YOU KNOW TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE
THERE. FOR MANUFACTURERS WHO HAS
AN ATTENDANCE POLICY THEY'RE
SEEING THEIR STAFF INVOKE THE
PAID SICK LEAVE BECAUSE THEY
KNOW THAT THEY'RE COMING AND
GOING TO BE COMING IN TO WORK
LATE AND THEY DON'T WANT THEIR
ATTENDANCE.
RECORD HIT SO IS THOSE TYPES OF
INSTANCES THAT WE'D LIKE -- TO
SEE FIX WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THE WITH THE AUTHORS OFFICE
AND WE ARE.
BUT AT THIS POINT WE ARE
UNFORTUNATELY OPPOSED UNLESS
AMENDED THANK YOU OKAY I WILL
TREAT YOU AS THE THIRD EXPERT
WITNESSES IS FALLS UNDER THE SIX
MINUTES.
OR ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION.
GETTING AND SOME OF THE
CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION REPOSE THANK YOU.
MORE IS REGISTERED WITH THE
CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
AND WE ARE OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT -- NO ONE ELSE
OPPOSITION WILL BRING IT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE.
IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS.
I'LL SECOND THAT.
YES I HAVE A QUESTION.
PLEASE.
MA'AM I IN IN READING THIS BILL --
I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THE THE THE
THE IDEA OF GIVING A SICK LEAVE
TO WORKERS -- AND AND I DO
UNDERSTAND THAT -- S AS AN
EMPLOYEE IF IF YOU AND I HAVE A
COMMON COLD OR EVEN IF WE HAVE.
A MINOR FLU WE CAN JUST TAKE OFF
THREE OR FOUR DAYS AND GO TO CVS
AND BY SOME PLUMAS IN IN IN IN
BE OKAY WITH IT BUT YOU ARE YOU
NOT OPEN TO REQUIRING THAT -- ON
THE LEASE ON THE FIFTH DAY THAT.
IF IF WE DO GO THROUGH IT WE
REALLY THAT SICK -- SHOULD WE AT
LEAST.
GET A DOCTOR'S NOTE.
SO -- YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
DISPUTE ABOUT THAT FIRST OF ALL
WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS MOST
PEOPLE DON'T USE FIVE
CONSECUTIVE DAYS I MEAN THERE
MIGHT BE A THEY THEY TEND TO USE
A DAY -- AND SO IF IT WAS ON THE
FIFTH DAY I GUESS IF YOU'RE SICK
FOR A DAY THEN IT'S THE FIFTH
DAY.
SECOND WITH THAT IS THE REALITY
THAT -- A LOT OF WORKERS DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO A DOCTOR.
AND THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY THE
TRUTH AND WE STILL SUFFER FROM
THAT IN THIS STATE AND SO -- OR
THE COST OF OF GOING TO THE
DOCTORS SO HIGH ESPECIALLY FOR
LOW WAGE WORKERS -- WHO DON'T
HAVE THAT ACCESS?
WE STILL HAVE IN THIS IN THIS
STATE UNINSURABLE FOLKS AND SO
WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO ADD AN
ADDITIONAL COST ON TO SOMETHING
THAT LET'S BE HONEST IT'S EARNED
SICK TIME IT'S NOT GIVEN TO AN
EMPLOYEE IT'S EARNED THROUGHOUT
THEIR YEAR OF SERVICE -- AND SO
YOU KNOW IT IN AND RECOGNIZING
ALL OF THAT -- WE DON'T FEEL
THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE -- TO TO
BE ASKING WORKERS WHO CAN BE ALL
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS FOR YOUR
EYE ON THE FIFTH DAY IT'S
PROBABLY EVER BEFORE OUT FIVE
DAYS WOULD PROBABLY.
SPEND THE FIFTY DOLLAR COPAY TO
GO TO THE DOCTOR AND AND WE
COULD GET AN OUT -- BUT WE'RE IN
A MUCH BETTER SITUATION AND AND
AND THE TRUTH IS WE WOULD NEVER
BE EXPECTED.
TO THERE'S ALSO SOME PRIVACY
CONCERNS WITH THAT -- IN IN THE
FACT THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY --
WANT TO FORCE WORKERS TO TELL
THEIR EMPLOYER WHAT EXACT
SICKNESS THEY HAVE OR WHAT
DOCTOR THEIR SCENE.
I'M AND FINALLY I'D SAY THE
IMPETUS FOR ME WRITING THIS BILL
IN THE FIRST PLACE IT'S KIND OF
INTERESTING BECAUSE WE TALK A
LOT ABOUT SICK DAYS NOW IN THE
FLU -- REALLY IN THAT OUR OUR
WORKERS THAT WE HAD HERE BEFORE
WERE THE REASON I I A BROKE THE
SPELL WHEN I WAS A UNION LEADER
AND ORGANIZER -- TALKING TO TWO
NEW WORKERS WHO HAD BEEN
UNIONIZE WOULD ASK THEM LIKE HOW
YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE GREATEST
THING ABOUT HAVING A UNION AND
YOU THINK IT BE LIKE THEY'RE
GETTING A PAY INCREASE OR
THEY'RETHEY'RE GETTING --
HEALTH CARE WAGES AND TIME AND
TIME AGAIN WE HEAR STORIES
ESPECIALLY FROM SINGLE MOMS LIKE.
IF MY SON'S SCHOOL CALLS IN HE
SAID I CAN GO PICK HIM UP AND
I'M NOT GONNA LOSE MY JOB.
YOU KNOW I A IF I'M STATE I CAN
STAY HOME WITH MY KIDS WHEN
THEY'RE SICK.
SO THE IMPETUS ME WRITING THIS
BILL IN THE FIRST PLACE HAD TO
DO.
MUCH MORE SO -- YOU KNOW I I'D
NEVER TAKEN A SICK DAY IN MY
LIFE.
BUT I HAD TAKEN OFF WORK TO GO
GET MY KIDS BECAUSE I WAS.
AND JULIE SENDING THEM TO SCHOOL
WITH A FEVER -- AND YOU GET
CAUGHT I MEAN THAT'S WHAT CAN'T
WORKING PARENTS TEND TO DO -- OR
THEY THROW UP AT SCHOOL YOU HAVE
TO GET THEM RIGHT AND SO IT'S
NOT A SITUATION BY WHICH YOU
COULD HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS AND AND
THEY COULD HAVE A COMMON COLD.
AND SO ONE KID SEC ONE DAY TWO
DAYS THREE DAYS AND THEN THE
NEXT KID GET SECOND YOUR HOME
FIVE DAYS AND YOU'VE NEVER GONE
TO THE DOCTOR AND IT'S NOT
UNREASONABLE.
AND SO I JUST THINK THAT THOSE
ALL THOS EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES I FIND IT
UNFORTUNATE -- THAT WE DON'T
TRUST OUR OWN WORK FORCE TO TELL
US THE TRUTH.
AND I THINK THAT THAT'S ONE OF
THE MOST DISTURBING THINGS ABOUT
THESE CONVERSATIONS WERE HAVING
IS THAT WE DON'T PUT THAT TRUST
IN OUR WORKERS THESE ARE PEOPLE
WHO MAKE.
OUR OUR WHATEVER WORK WE DO IF
IT AS BOSSES IF YOU WILL -- WERE
SUPERVISORS THEY'RE THE ONES WHO
ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMING THE WORK
TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL AND
PROFITABLE AND YET WE DON'T.
TRUST IF THEY SAY THEY'RE SICK
OR THEIR LOVED ONE TO STICK OR
THEY NEED TO STAY HOME --
THERE'S ALSO A A AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR FOR ON MENTAL HEALTH REASONS
TO STAY HOME THAT'S ALSO YOU CAN
BE SICK ON STRESS.
AND SO THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT
ASPECTS TO IT TO WHITE PEOPLE
NEED SOMETIMES A DAY OFF OR TWO
DAYS OFF AND WE THINK UP TO FIVE
DAYS OFF IS REASONABLE -- THAT
WE JUST DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO
HAVE THEM EXPLAIN THAT WE ARE
PRESENT AB PANTENE THE SAN DIEGO
ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES A FOURTH
AND FIFTH DAY TO HAVE.
A NO WE TRIED VERY HARD TO WORK
WITH OUR WITH COMPANIES -- THAT
THAT OPERATE MULTIPLE
JURISDICTIONS TO HAVE ONE SET OF
RULES I WAS NOTICING MY DAUGHTER
WAS WAITRESSING AND SAN DIEGO
AND HER HER AT SIXTY OF CRUEL ON
HER PAYCHECK.
IS I MEAN IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE
WORKER IT'S CONFUSING BECAUSE
THEY HAVE STATE AND CITY LAWS
THAT THAT READ DIFFERENTLY --
AND SO WE DID WORK THROUGH A LOT
OF PRE EMPTION ISSUES AND WE'RE
ACTUALLY GONNA PREAMP THAT AS
WELL.
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANKS.
FOR CONTINUING -- THIS -- FIGHT
AS WELL FOR THE FOR THE WORKERS
AND AGAIN I THINK HAVING MORE
SICK DAYS IS GOOD NOT JUST FOR
THE WORKERS BEFORE THE EMPLOYERS.
YOU DON'T ACTUALLY WANT YOUR
WORK OR YOUR EMPLOYEE THERE WHEN
THEY'RE SICK GIVE THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TAKE CARE OF
THEMSELVES AND THEIR LOVED ONES
AGAIN WILL MAKE FOR A SAFER WORK
ENVIRONMENTS.
HAPPIER EMPLOYEES AND I AND I
THINK -- BUT WILL WILL MOVE US
AS A STATE IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION EVEN THOUGH I THINK
THERE'S A LOT MORE WE CAN DO TO
PROTECT WORKERS AND WITH THAT --
WE DO HAVE A MOTION I WAS AT
CLOSING COMMENTS JUST A COUPLE
OF THE THINGS THAT WERE BROUGHT
A PORN ASKED ABOUT -- HOLIDAY
PAY I I THINK MOST OF US NOW
BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THAT BILL
MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD DEFEATED --
THAT HOLIDAY BEHAVE IN
CALIFORNIA IS NOT A RIGHT AND IN
FACT MOST PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY
BENEFIT FROM HOLIDAY PAY OUR
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SO I WOULD LOVE
TO TALK TO THE BUSINESSES THAT
SUGGESTS THAT THEIR NUMBER OF
PEOPLE TAKING HOLIDAYS OFF
BECAUSE THEY GET PAID MORE -- IN
THOSE SITUATIONS I WOULD SUGGEST.
I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE OF
RETAILERS THE PAY ON TIME AND A
HALF OR GIVE AN EXTRA TURKEY ON
THANKSGIVING -- AND THAT PERHAPS
THEY CAN NOT SCHEDULE THEIR
WORKERS ON THANKSGIVING AND THAT
WOULD SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AND THE
OTHER ISSUE THAT WE HEARD IS
THAT.
YOU KNOW WELL I JUST I I DO I DO
WANT TO POINT OUT -- AT THE
CHAMBER MISS CARSON GENERAL IN
AND I I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
YOU KNOW IF IF WE DIDN'T.
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT
REMINDED ME WHEN SHE WALKED UP.
THAT SO MANY WORKERS DON'T HAVE --
EVEN PAID LEAVE FOR HAVING A
BABY.
N. AND HONESTLY -- THE THE LAWS
THAT WE HAVE IN CALIFORNIA
DEPEND ON THE COMPANY SIZE THEY
DID THEY DEPEND -- ON ON ON THE
PORTIONS OF THAT SO THERE ARE
LITERALLY WOMEN WHO HAVE TO GO
BACK TO WORK THE DAY AFTER THEY
GIVE BIRTH.
IN CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING IN THAT
SITUATION WE SAID WHEN WE PASS
PAID SICK DAYS THE FIRST TIME AT
LEAST WE KNEW THAT THEY COULD BE
ACCESS THREE DAYS ALSO PAID
FAMILY LEAVE WHEN IT DOES KICK
IN.
KICKS IN AFTER THE FIRST WEEK SO
WE'RE TRYING -- TO CROSSED THAT
DIFFERENTIAL IS WELL IN MAKE
SURE -- THAT THAT ALL WOMEN --
WHO HAVE EIGHT CHILDBEARING?
I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT HEALTH
CONDITION -- ALSO HAVE I MEAN
COME ON FIVE FULL DAYS TO RECOUP
AND GET BACK TO WORK SOUTH WHICH
IS FAR TOO LITTLE I'M JUST
SAYING IT'S IT'S THE ULTIMATE
SAFETY NET SO.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NINE
ABOUT THE MIS KERR IS GOING TO
MISS YOU WHEN SHE'S ON RELIEF.
I THINK YOU CAN COME ON BACK AND
BE A UNION ORGANIZER. OH OKAY
WAS A WITH THAT WE HAVE A MOTION
ON THE TABLE WHICH IS A DO
PASSED TO A I DO PASS AS AMENDED
APPROPRIATIONS -- SECTOR CALL
THE ROLL PLEASE.

AND FORMALLY INCARCERATED
COMMUNITIES WITH OUR STATE
FACING RISING INEQUALITY IN COST
OF LIVING COMBINED WITH THE
PROJECTED SHORTAGE OF ONE POINT
FIVE MILLION WORKERS WITH THE
POST SECONDARY EDUCATION.
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT CALIFORNIA
INVESTMENTS ENTIRE WORK FORCE
WITH INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT
FULLY INCLUDE OUR MOST
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
HOWEVER AS WE OUTLINED IN OUR
MOST RECENT REPORT MULTIPLE AND
SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS ARE
SHUTTING OUR COMMUNITIES OUT OF
MEANINGFUL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITIES WHICH MEANS
SHUTTING THEM OUT FROM ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY AND MOMENT MOBILITY.
AND AS YOU JUST HEARD I
IMMIGRANTS REFUGEES AND PEOPLE
WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
LIKE ACCESS TO LINGUISTICALLY
AND CULTURALLY COMPETENT STAFF
PROGRAM AND SERVICES.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORMALLY
INCARCERATED MANY OF WHOM WORK
OR RECEIVE TRAINING WHILE
INCARCERATED ARE UNABLE TO APPLY
THEIR EXPERIENCES. TO
CREDENTIALS AND CAREERS
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE IN
ELIGIBLE FOR THE MAJORITY OF
WORK FOR SERVICES EVEN THOUGH
THEY COMPRISE ONE OUT OF TEN
WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA.
SO MANY BERRIES NETWORK FOR
SYSTEM CUT ACROSS OUR
COMMUNITIES SUCH AS TIME AND
COST REQUIRED FOR TRAINING A
LACK OF SUPPORT OF STAFF AND
SERVICES AND PERHAPS MOST
IMPORTANTLY.
THE LACK OF INVESTMENT SUPPORT
FOR COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS WITH POSITIVE
SOLUTIONS AND REACH BEFORE TO

OKAY THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO
YOU AB SIXTEEN SEVENTY SEVEN THE
PROTECT AMERICA CALL TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIA CALL CENTER JOB AT
CALL CENTERS ARE MAJOR ECONOMIC
FORCE IN THE UNITED STATES
REPRESENTING ABOUT 3% OF OUR
WORKFORCE.
YET THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMER
SERVICE CONTACT CENTER JOBS HAS
DECLINED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS
BY FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND LARGELY
DUE TO OUTSOURCING AND LAYOFFS.
IS BECOME ALL TOO COMMON FOR
CORPORATIONS TO REAP THE
BENEFITS OF STATE FUNDING IN
SUBSIDIES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME
EXPORTING JOBS OVERSEAS.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS
CORPORATIONS HAVE BENEFITTED
FROM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
STATE SUBSIDIES WERE FUNNELING
CALL CENTER JOBS OUT OF
CALIFORNIA.
SINCE TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN THE
SHUT DOWN OF JUST FIVE CALL SOON
AS RESULTED IN NEARLY A THOUSAND
MIDDLE CLASS JOBS LOST.
CORPORATION SHOULD BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS OUTSOURCING
AND TO CONTINUE SUBSIDIZING
CORPORATIONS THAT EXPORT CALL
CENTER JOBS ONLY SERVES TO
INCENTIVIZE BEHAVIOR.
BECAUSE OF THE JOB SHOULD BE
BASED IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT
THEY SERVE.
AB SIXTEEN SEVENTY SEVEN WOULD
REQUIRE THAT EMPLOYERS SEEKING
TO RELOCATE CALL CENTERS FROM
CALIFORNIA TO ANOTHER COUNTRY
GIVE THE LABOR COMMISSIONER OF
HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS NOTICE.
ADDITIONALLY IN ADDITION
EMPLOYERS WHO EXPORT CALL CENTER
JOBS OVERSEAS WOULD BE
PROHIBITED FROM RECEIVING ANY
STATE GRANTS GUARANTEED LOANS OR
TAX BENEFITS FOR FIVE YEARS.
THIS BILL IS SPONSORED BY THE
COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF AMERICA
AND HERE TO SPEAK WITH ME TODAY
IS TOM RUNYON WHO'S VICE
PRESIDENT FOR ME.
COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF AMERICA

MY NAME IS TOM RUNYON I'M VICE
PRESIDENT OF COMMUNICATION
WORKERS OF AMERICA DISTRICT.
NINE AND I'M HERE TODAY SPEAKING
IN SUPPORT OF AB.
SIXTEEN SEVENTY SEVEN AND I WANT
TO THANK YOU CHAIRMAN COLOR AND
THE MEMBERS FOR LETTING US --
TESTIFYING.
CALL CENTERS ARE AN IMPORTANT
ECONOMIC LIFELINE FOR MANY
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WITH TWO HUNDRED AND TEN
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
WORKERS WITH THE JOB TITLE
CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
IN CALIFORNIA ALONE.
BUT THOUSANDS OF CALL CENTER
WORKERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE
LOST THEIR JOBS IN RECENT YEARS
AS MAJOR CORPORATIONS HAVE OFF
SHORT CUSTOMER SERVICE
OPERATIONS.
OVERSEAS.
SINCE TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN FOR
EXAMPLE EIGHTEEN T. HAS CLOSE
CALL CENTERS IN ANAHEIM.
BAKERSFIELD ATWATER SACRAMENTO
OAKLAND RESULTING IN OVER A
THOUSAND LOST JOBS. EIGHTEEN T.
HAS ALSO SET FAIRLY REDUCE ITS
WORKFORCE IN SAN RAMON FRESNO
SAN DIEGO COMMERCE PASADENA
ESCONDIDO AND TORRANCE.
IN MAY OF TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
SPECTRUM FORMALLY TIME WARNER
CABLE CLOSED ITS CALL CENTER IN
PALM DESERT LAYING OFF TWO
HUNDRED WORKERS.
IN FEBRUARY OF TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN VERIZON WIRELESS CLOSE
ITS CALL CENTER IN IRVINE.
THEN I'M PULLING OVER ONE
THOUSAND WORKERS.
IN OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
THE COMPANY CLOSED ITS CALL
CENTER IN RANCHO CORDOVA ALSO
LAYING OFF OVER ONE THOUSAND
EMPLOYEES.
THIS TREND IS HARMED WORKING
FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS AMERICA.
WHILE ENDANGERING CONSUMER
SECURITY FOR EXAMPLE.
CALL CENTERS IN COSTA RICO WERE
HOME TO A MASSIVE TELEMARKETING
SCAMS THAT THE FRAUD AT
THOUSANDS OF U. S. CITIZENS.
MOST OVER THE AGE OF FIFTY FIVE
OF UPWARDS OF TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
WITH NEW TAX PROVISIONS IN THE
TRUMP TAX BILL COMPANIES ARE
EVEN MORE LIKELY TO MOVE THEIR
CUSTOMER SERVICE WORK OVERSEAS.
ACCORDING TO JOINT COMMITTEE ON
TAXATION THE NEW TERRITORIAL TAX
SYSTEM EXEMPTS OFFSHORE INCOME
FROM US TAXATION COSTING TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN BILLION OVER
THE NEXT DECADE.
AND IT WILL CREATE A TAX
INCENTIVE FOR CORPORATION TO
MOVE JOBS OFFSHORE TO COUNTRIES
WITH LOWER TAX RATES.
COMPANIES ARE ALREADY TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROVISIONS
AFTER THE FEDERAL TAX BILL
PASSED EIGHTEEN T. A COMPANY
THAT MEDI. TWENTY BILLION FROM
THE TAX SAVINGS HAS ELIMINATED
OVER TEN THOUSAND CALL CENTER
JOBS IN THE US.
WE NEED NEW EFFORTS THAT PUT
CALIFORNIA WORKERS FIRST ADD NEW
LEVELS OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE
OFF SHORING PROCESS AND ENSURE
THAT WE ARE NOT REWARDING
COMPANIES WHO ARE ACTIVELY
ELIMINATING.
GOOD JOBS IN OUR STATE.
AB SIXTY SEVENTY SEVEN IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE JOB STAY
IN CALIFORNIA AND PROTECT
CONSUMERS ALL IT DOES IS PROVIDE
NOTICE OF A COMPANY OFF SHORES
30%.
OF ITS CALL CENTER WORK AND
LIMITS ELIGIBILITY FOR STATE TAX
CREDITS AND SUBSIDIES SUBSIDIES
FOR FIVE YEARS.
I WANT TO THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER

THE CINEMA WEBER -- LOOK IT IN
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS WE WERE
TOLD -- HOW MANY JOBS ARE GONNA
BE CREATED BY THIS BIG TAX
WINDFALL THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
THAT WERE BASICALLY JUST HANDED
OVER? TO THE CORPORATIONS AND WE
WERE TOLD IS GOING TO CREATE ALL
THESE JOBS AND CREEL THESE JOBS.
BUT WE KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS
AND AND WE KNOW WHAT WE SEE WITH
YOUR OWN REALITY.
AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS -- I HAD
A NOT AN EASY BILL TO TAKE
FORWARD BECAUSE IT CHALLENGES A
LOT OF THE NOTIONS OF WHAT WE'VE
DONE IN THE PAST BUT WE HAVE TO
DO I THINK MORE.
OF NOW THAN AT A MORE WORK NOW
THAN EVER BEFORE TO PROTECT GOOD
JOBS HERE IN OUR STATE.
AND SO FOR THAT REASON THIS
DOESN'T JOIN AYE RECOMMENDATION --
IN -- DOC WEBER PLEASE -- BUT IN
MY SHIRT.

CLOTHES YES MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I WANT TO THANK US THE
CW A FOR BRINGING THIS TO MY

AFTER ABOUT THIRTY YEARS OF
EMPLOYMENT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
YOU KNOW I HAVE A MY MY FAMILY
RUNS TO LABOR IN TERMS MY FATHER
WITH THE STEEL MILL.

THE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT IS
THAT IT IS VERY SOMETIMES
DEMORALIZING I THINK TO WATCH
YOUR JOB BE -- NOT CUT OUT
BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE WORK IS
STILL THERE BUT TO BE EXPORTED
SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE IT'S
EASIER AND CHEAPER.
CHEAPER TO TAKE YOUR JOB
OVERSEAS AND TO REALLY PAY THE
PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE AND EVERY
DAY MAKE CALIFORNIA'S LIFE OF
WHAT IT IS SO IT'S EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT WE SUPPORT A CALL
CENTER WORKERS.
THAT WE PRIORITIZE THAT WE WERE
DEALING WITH GRANTS AND
SUBSIDIES TO CORPORATIONS THAT
THEY ARE ALSO THE CORPORATIONS
THAT ARE SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHO
WORK IN CALIFORNIA.
AND SO I'M REALLY PROUD TO
BASICALLY -- THREE THE AUTHOR OF
THIS BILL I THINK THOSE WHO WORK
SO HARD WITH US AND I THINK ALL
OF YOU CAME TODAY.

SICKLY -- LOREENA BUT THAT THAT.

SOMEONE PROFESSIONALS.
SAFETY DATA SHEETS ARE USED AS A
SOURCE OF INFORMATION ABOUT
HAZARDS INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARDS AND TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
THESE DOCUMENTS ARE CURRENTLY
PRODUCE AND NOT A HARD COPY FORM
IN ENGLISH MAKE IT TOUGH FOR
SALON PROFESSIONALS TO ACCESS

DOCUMENT GETTING LOST AMONGST
OTHER SAFETY DATA SHEETS. FOR
PROFESSIONALS ARE EXPOSED TO A
MULTITUDE OF CHEMICALS KNOWN OR
SUSPECTED TO POSE HEALTH RISKS.
MANY OF OF THE SWAMP SPECIALS

AND HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH SKILLS.
ALL OF THE CHOOSE TO BE TO THE
CHOOSE TO WORK IN THE SALON
INDUSTRY ACCESS TO VITAL
INFORMATION SUCH AS A SAFETY
DATA SHEET.
IS IMPERATIVE TO THEIR HEALTH AS
A SMALL PROFESSIONAL WORKING IN
AN ENVIRONMENT THAT EXPOSE THEM

BY ALLOWING SAFETY DATA SHEETS

SAFETY AWARENESS TO IMPROVE THE
HEALTH OF WORKING CONDITIONS FOR
SALON PROFESSIONALS.
I DO ACKNOWLEDGE OPPOSITION

THE CITY AND COUNTY STAFF WHO
HAD EXPERTISE IN TOXINS.

OBTAINING SDS IS THEMSELVES TO

MAY HAVE TO MAKE ROOM FOR ONE
PLEASE
.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS MAY DELAY WITH THE
PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS COUNCIL --
WE'RE HAVING OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION ON THE BILL AND
I'LL START OFF BY SAYING THAT WE
DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT THE
CONCEPT BEHIND THE BILL -- SOME
OF THE COMMENTS THAT THE AUTHOR
MENTIONED -- IN A STATEMENT
AROUND IN THE SALON WORKERS IN
ABILITY TO ACCESS SOME OF THESE
SAFETY DATA SHEETS IS TROUBLING
TO US.
MANUFACTURERS MAKE SAFETY DATA
SHEETS FOR OUR PROFESSIONAL
COSMETICS AND THEY SHOULD BE
MADE AVAILABLE TO WORKERS AND WE
BELIEVE THAT.
IF THE SALONS ARE NOT PROVIDING
THOSE MSTS IS TO THEIR WORKERS
ARE ACTUALLY IN VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL LAW.
SO WE DON'T OPPOSE -- THE
ACCESSIBILITY OF OF THE SAFETY
DATA SHEETS OR THE LANGUAGE
ACCESS NECESSARILY -- SO FROM
THAT PERSPECTIVE I DON'T FEEL
LIKE WE'RE THAT FAR APART
BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY AGREE --
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LIKE
TO WORK THROUGH WITH THE AUTHORS
OFFICE ARE AROUND CLARIFYING THE
SCOPE OF WHAT.
PRODUCTS ARE GONNA BE REQUIRED
OF FOR SAFETY DATA SHEETS TO BE
MADE AVAILABLE -- WE WORKED WITH
THE AUTHOR OF LAST YEAR ON HIS
PROFESSIONAL COSMETICS
INGREDIENT DISCLOSURE BILL LAST
YEAR AND I THINK BASED ON THE
COMMENTS THAT YOU MADE.
THAT IS THE UNIVERSE OF PRODUCTS
HOPEFULLY THAT YOU GUYS ARE
TARGETING SO WE'D APPRECIATE
SOME CLARIFICATION THERE THAT
YOU ARE IN FACT.
REQUIRING PROFESSIONAL COSMETIC
MSTS IS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE.
AND THEN SECOND ONLY AND THE
LANGUAGE THAT -- IS AROUND.
GOSH.
THE DIFFERENT DIES IN COLORS I
BELIEVE IT IS IN THE BILL THAT
SAYS THAT I MUST YES IT'S HAVE
TO BE MADE AVAILABLE WE JUST
WANT SOME CLARIFICATION.
BASED ON THE LAST HEARING AND
YES TM -- I BELIEVE THAT THE
AUTHOR OR THE SPONSOR BOTH
CLARIFIED THAT THE INTENTION IS
NOT TO REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO
DO ANYTHING NEW IF THEY MAKE AN
MSTS FOR DIFFERENT COLOR DIED
WE'D LIKE TO MAKE THIS AVAILABLE.
I THINK WE'RE AGREEABLE TO THAT
BUT I THINK THE LANGUAGE KINDA
MISSES THE MARK SO JUST SOME
THINGS THAT WE LIKE TO WORK ON
BUT WERE IN OPPOSING THE CEMENT
A POSITION CURRENTLY.
GOOD AFTERNOON CALL COMMUTERS ON
BEHALF OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND
COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION
AGAIN WE ALSO HAVE AN OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION IN
PARTICULAR WITH THE INCLUSION OF
DISINFECTANT PRODUCTS.
WE JUST WOULD LIKE THE

REQUIRE THAT THE THE
MANUFACTURER.
LIST THE CHEMICAL ON ON THE
WEBSITE MAKE IT -- IN TRANSLATE
INTO CERTAIN LANGUAGES BUT YOU
HAVE NO INTENTION OF OF
REQUIRING THAT THE THESE.
THIS INFORMATION GET POSTED AT
THEIR PLACE OF WORK WE'RE AT
RIGHT NOW I MEAN YOU.
BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE A LOT OF A
LOT OF NAIL SALON WORKERS ON THE
THEY WORK IN IN THIS ENVIRONMENT
WHERE THEY HAVE TO INHALE OR
BREEZES.
TOXIC CHEMICAL -- EIGHT NINE
HOURS A DAY AND AND I DON'T
THINK YOU LIKE HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT MAKING IT.
MAKING IT TO THE MANDATE THAT.
WILL BE POSTED NEXT TO THE
MINIMUM WAGE POSTER.
I BET IT AS THE THE THE THE
WHOLE INTENT OF LIKE NOTIFYING

APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS AS
INDICATED BY.
A MISLI -- BUT SHE CORRECTLY
STATED THAT THERE ALREADY IS A
REQUIREMENT.
OF PERSONAL LINES TO MAKE THE
MSTS IS AVAILABLE -- TO BUT
THEIR WORKERS AND SO IF THEY'RE
NOT DOING THAT IN A WAY THAT
SUCCESSFUL THAT'S ALREADY A
PROBLEM AS TO WHERE THE IS THERE
IS IT UP.
WE DON'T WE'RE NOT SO
PRESCRIPTIVE AS TO EXACTLY WHERE
IT HAS TO BE WHAT HAVE YOU BUT

WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE POSTED THE
REALITIES RIGHT NOW I THINK
THERE IS.
A THE REALITIES OF THE VIEW
GOING TO A LOT US LINES THEY
PROBABLY DON'T EVEN OF MANY THAT
MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE THOSE
MSTS AS IS OUR AND SO THAT IS A
SEPARATE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT.

A SIMILAR CARILLO.
SB.
SIX SEVEN THREE AGAIN WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I AM
SUPPOSED TO BE AT TWO PLACES AT
THE SAME TIME RIGHT NOW.
THERE IN JUNE.
HELLO AND PLEASE.
AT SIX SEVEN THREE YEAH OKAY
GREAT [inaudible]
HELLO.
THANK YOU.
I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB SIX SEVEN
THREE WILL KEEP IT SHORT -- A
BILL THAT WILL BE AT THAT IS
NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RECOURSE TO
WORKERS.
AND THEIR EMPLOYERS TO NOT PAID
WAGES ON TIME I WILL BE TAKING
AMENDMENTS TO SPECIFY THAT ANY
PENALTIES WERE COVERED BY THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER SHALL BE PAID
TO THE EMPLOYEE.
THIS PAST FEBRUARY THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER ISSUE THE LARGEST
CITATION IN STATE HISTORY FINING
AND LA CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
NEARLY TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS.
FOR REPEATED WAGE THEFT
VIOLATIONS THAT LEFT OVER ONE
THOUSAND WORKERS WITHOUT WAITING
WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS FOR THEIR
PAYCHECKS.
VIOLATIONS LIKE THIS AS WE ALL
KNOW -- HAVE A INCREDIBLE
HARDSHIP TO WORKING FAMILIES.
CURRENT LAW ALLOWS THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER TO RECOVER THE
PENALTY FOR THE STATE BUT
ACCORDING TO THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER THIS PENALTY HAS
ACTUALLY NOT BEEN COLLECTED.
EVEN IF THE PENALTIES WERE TO BE
COLLECTED BY THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER THE PENALTIES DO
NOT GO TO THE WORKER.
THIS BILL WILL HELP PROVIDE
CALIFORNIA WORKERS SIMPLE AND
DIRECT AVENUES FOR RECOVERY WHEN
EMPLOYERS.
WHO DO NOT PAY ON TIME UNDER
EIGHTY SIX SEVENTY THREE THE
WORKER?
MAYBE COVER A PENALTY THROUGH A
HEARING BEFORE THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER OR AN INDEPENDENT
CIVIL ACTION ANY PENALTY THAT
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER RECOVERS.
IN A HEARING WILL BE PROVIDED TO
THE AFFECTED EMPLOYEE FOR THE
INITIAL VIOLATION THE EMPLOYEE
WILL RECOVER ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
FOR EACH SUBSEQUENT VIOLATION OR
ANY INTENTIONAL VIOLATION THE
EMPLOYEE WOULD RECOVER A TWO
HUNDRED DOLLAR PENALTY PLUS 25%
OF THE AMOUNT UNLAWFULLY.
WITHHELD WITH ME HERE TO TESTIFY
IS THE NOW THE URBAN.
WHO IS THE EXPECTED DIRECTOR OF
THE CENTER FOR WORKER RIGHTS AS
WELL AS CAROL OF EVENING SENIOR
STAFF ATTORNEY OF LEGAL LATE AT
WORK AND INTRODUCING HER CLIENT?
REBECCA DID LIKE [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
MY NAME IS CAROL BEING AND I'M A
SENIOR STAFF ATTORNEY AT LEGAL
AID AT WORK TWICE DIRECT THE
WAGE PROTECTION PROGRAM.
AT THE WHICH PROTECTION PROGRAM
WE PROVIDE FREE LEGAL SERVICES
TO LOW WAGE WORKERS.
LAST YEAR ALONE WE WERE COVERED
OVER TWO POINT FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS IN OWED WAGES TO OUR
CLIENTS.
WE ARE PROUD CO SPONSORS OF A.
B..
SIX SEVENTY THREE THIS LAW IS
ABOUT THE MOST BASIC WAGE
PROTECTION THE RIGHT TO BE PAID
ON TIME.
IN MY OVER TEN YEARS OF DOING
WAGE CLAIMS NOT BEING PAID IN
FULL AND ON TIME IS THE MOST
COMMON PROBLEM WE'VE SEEN.
THERE IS PRACTICALLY NO
CONSEQUENCE FOR AN EMPLOYER NOT
TO PAY HIS WORKERS ON TIME THERE
MUST BE A PRACTICAL REMEDY OR
EMPLOYERS WILL CONTINUE TO MISS
PAYDAY.
WE SEE WORKERS LIVING PAYCHECK
TO PAYCHECK AND WHO ARE NOT PAID
REGULARLY AND THE IMPACTS ARE
DEVASTATING.
WITH ME TODAY IS ONE OF OUR
CLIENTS REBEKAH DID LAKE WHO
WORKS IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY
WE'RE LATE PAYCHECKS ARE ALL TOO
COMMON.
HI THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY.
MY NAME IS REBECCA DID LIKE AND
I'VE WORKED IN THE RESTAURANT
INDUSTRY FOR TEN YEARS.
I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT MY
EXPERIENCE IN MISSION BEACH CAFE
WHERE I WORKED FROM AUGUST --
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN TO FOR
FEBRUARY.
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN DURING MY
EMPLOYMENT I WAS OFTEN PAID LATE
AND WHEN I WAS PAID MY CHECKS
WOULD OFTEN BOUNCE I NEVER KNEW
THE NEXT TIME I WAS GETTING PAID
OR WHEN THERE WOULD BE.
SUFFICIENT FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNT
FOR ME TO COLLECT.
I OFTEN HAD TO DIP INTO MY
SAVINGS TO PAY FOR RENT AND
OTHER BILLS I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH
TO HAVE A SAVINGS TO RELY ON
WHERE SOME OF MY OTHER COWORKERS
WERE.
NOT AS LUCKY -- I'M PARTICULAR
ONE OF MY COWORKERS WAS
THREATENED WITH EVICTION BECAUSE
OF THE EMPLOYER NOT PAYING HIM
ON TIME.
AND ANOTHER ONE OF MY CO WORKERS
STRESSED BECAUSE HE CAN A FEW
THIS FAMILY BECAUSE HE HAD
RECEIVED A PAYCHECK YET.
I'M ON TOP OF IT BEING VERY
STRESSFUL IT IS VERY UNFAIR THAT
BECAUSE OF BEING PAID LATE --
EMPLOYEES OFTEN THINK YOU'RE
LATE FEES FOR MISSED PAYMENTS
AND HOW TO PAY A HIGHER INTEREST
RATES ON BILLS AND LOANS -- THIS
BILL IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THERE'S NO EASY WAY FOR AN
EMPLOYER TO FORCE YOUR PLAYER TO
PAY ON TIME -- IN MY OPINION
THIS BILL SHOULD DEFINITELY
ALREADY EXIST WE'VE BEEN IN TWO
AND A HALF YEARS OF LITIGATION
ANDI STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED
ANY PENALTIES AND NEITHER HAVE
ANY OF MY OTHER COWORKERS.
I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL THANK YOU THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS DANIELLE URBAN AND THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER
FOR WORKERS RIGHTS I SACRAMENTO
BASED LEGAL SERVICES
ORGANIZATION.
SERVING LOW WAGE WORKERS.
WE ARE PROUD CO SPONSORED AB SIX
SEVEN THREE BECAUSE UNDER
CURRENT LAW THERE'S NO PRACTICAL
REMEDY FOR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT
PAID ON TIME.
AS YOU HAVE JUST HEARD THIS CAN
CAUSE EXTREME FINANCIAL HARDSHIP
FOR THE MANY EMPLOYEES WHO LIVE
PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND NEED
THEIR WAGES PAID ON TIME SO THAT
THEY CAN PAY FOR FOOD RENT AND
OTHER DAILY NECESSITIES.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE CURRENT LAW
IS THAT EMPLOYEES WHO ARE PAID
THEY HAVE NO CLEAR OR EFFECTIVE
RECOURSE THE CURRENT LABOR CODE
SECTION.
TWO TEN REQUIRES THAT THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER RECOVER THE PENALTY
THROUGH AN ACTION IN THEIR OWN
NAME.
EVEN IF THE LABOR COMMISSIONER
WAS EXERCISING THIS AUTHORITY
WHICH THEY ARE NOT.
THEY THE WERE UP PENALTIES WOULD
BE PAID TO THE STATE AND NOT TO
THE WORKER.
THESE EFFORTS TO RECOVER -- FOR
LATE PAYCHECKS ARE NOT REALISTIC
FOR EMPLOYEES WHO SIMPLY WANT TO
BE PAID ON TIME AND BE
COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSSES
CAUSED BY THE LATE PAYMENTS.
AB SIX SEVENTY THREE WILL
STRENGTHEN LABOR CODE SECTION
TWO TEN SO THAT CAN BE A
PRACTICAL TOOL FOR WORKERS TO
RECOVER WAGES THAT ARE OVERDUE.
FIRST THE PENALTY ALREADY
PROVIDED IN LABOR CODE SECTION
TWO TEN WILL GO TO THE AGGRIEVED
WORKER RATHER THAN THE STATE.
THE FIRST INSTANCE OF AN
EMPLOYER'S LATE PAYMENT THE
EMPLOYEE COULD RECOVER A ONE
HUNDRED DOLLAR PENALTY.
ON SUBSEQUENT VIOLATIONS OR FOR
A WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL
VIOLATION.
THE PENALTY WOULD INCREASE TO
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS PLUS THE 25%
OF THE AMOUNT UNLAWFULLY WITHOUT.
SECOND THIS BILL WOULD ENABLE
WORKERS TO ENFORCE THEIR OWN
RIGHT UNDER THIS SECTION IN THE
SAME WAY THAT THEY CAN ENFORCE
THEIR RIGHT TO WAITING TIME
PENALTIES. FOR A FINAL PAYCHECK.
THAT IS THROUGH THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE OR
THROUGH WITH THE INDEPENDENT
CIVIL ACTION.
THESE CHANGES TO LABOR CODE
SECTION TWO TEN I PROPOSE AN
EIGHTY SIX SEVENTY THREE CREATES
A DETERRENT FOR EMPLOYERS TO
ISSUE LATE PAYCHECKS.
IN THE HOPE THAT NO EMPLOYEE HAS
TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF
LATE PAYMENT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE'S SUPPORT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN OR AS
MERRY GO YOUR SHE HARD WITH THE
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS
ASSOCIATION PROUD TO CO SPONSOR

MITCH DYER CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION ALSO SUPPORT THANK
YOU -- ANYWHERE IN OPPOSITION.
FOR A COUPLE SEATS FOR
OPPOSITION PLEASE THANK YOU
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TESTIFIED TODAY MY
NAME'S LOWER CURTIS AND I'M HERE
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A WE DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THIS
BILL WE APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS HOWEVER THEY
ESSENTIALLY CREATE THE SAME
PROBLEM IN A DIFFERENT WAY FOR
US -- BUT WE DO WANT TO THANK
THE AUTHOR AUTHOR AND HER STAFF
FOR WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH US
ON THIS BILL AND FORTUNATE THIS
TIME WE ARE STILL IN THE SAME
POSITION AS WE PREVIOUSLY WORK --
I'M GOING TO GET INTO SOME
DETAILS OF LABOR LAW THAT'S
PRETTY BORING FOR MANY BUT I AM
THE REASON BEING THAT THE
LANGUAGE CHANGES THE PENALTY
FROM A CIVIL PENALTY TO A
STATUTORY PENALTY.
A STATUTORY PENALTY HAS TO GO TO
THE EMPLOYEE IN THIS SITUATION
WE ARE OKAY WITH THE PENALTY
GOING TO THE EMPLOYEE WHAT WE'RE
NOT OKAY WITH HIS EMPLOYER BEING
PENALIZED TWICE.
SO NOW IF THIS INDIVIDUAL BRINGS
A CLAIM UNDER THE PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ACT THAT'S
WHERE CREATE THIS IS BACKING A
PENALTIES BECAUSE THEY CAN COVER
COVER THE STATUTORY PENALTY.
UNDER THIS -- AMENDED PROVISION
OF S. BEAR OF AB SIX SEVEN THREE
AND THEN THEY WOULD ALSO BE
ALLOWED TO RECOVERTHE CIVIL
PENALTY UNDER THE POCK ACTION SO
AGAIN IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY FOR
THE EMPLOYER TO BE PENALIZED
TWICE FOR THE SAME ERROR.
AGAIN -- FOR LATE PAYMENT OF
WAGES THIS CAN BE AYE AYE --
UNDERSTAND THE SPONSORS AND THE
SUPPORTERS SAYING THAT THEIR
INTENTIONAL VIOLATIONS THIS CAN
BE UNINTENTIONAL VIOLATIONS
BECAUSE IF YOU UNDER PAYING
EMPLOYEE ON ACCIDENT IT'S STILL
CONSIDERED A LATE PAYMENT OF
WAGES AND SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT A
POTENTIAL -- UNINTENTIONAL ERROR
THAT CONTINUES TO STACK WITH
THESE PA THE PENALTIES AND WE
HAVE PROVIDED LANGUAGE TO THE
AUTHORS OFFICE AND WE'RE HOPING
THAT WE CAN WORK ON THAT
LANGUAGE IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE
THOSE CONCERNS THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
JUST TO ADD -- MISTER CHAIR I
WANT TO THANK THE ASSEMBLY WOMAN
STAFF AND THE SPONSORS IN
PARTICULAR.
THEY HAVE A DONE A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE NOTED IN
YOUR ANALYSIS.
ALL OF WHICH WE SUPPORT WE HAVE
ASKED FOR ONE ADDITIONAL ONE
WHICH WOULD ESSENTIALLY ADDED AN
ADDITIONAL SUBDIVISION. TO
PRECLUDE THAT DOUBLE RECOVERY HE
UNDER THE PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ACT IN THE LABOR CODE SO
WITH THAT I THINK WE WOULD BE --
NEUTRAL ON THE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION.
WHERE IS RICHEST IN CALIFORNIA

THIS BILL WILL ENSURE THAT
WORKERS ARE PAID FAIRLY FOR THE
WORK BY PROVIDING CLARITY AS TO

ACTIVITIES.
CURRENTLY THERE IS SOME
CONFUSION BETWEEN AWARDING
AGENCIES CONTRACTORS AND LABOR
GROUPS PERTAINING TO WHEN AND
WHERE PREVAILING WAGE
REQUIREMENTS APPLY ON
PRECONSTRUCTION.
ACTIVITIES WHILE STATE LAW MAKES
CLEAR THAT PRECONSTRUCTION PHASE
OF THE PROJECT FALL UNDER THE
DEFINITION.
OF PUBLIC PUBLIC WORKS AND
THAT'S REQUIRE THE PAYMENT A
PREVAILING WAGE THE AMBIGUITY AS
TO WHAT IS CONSIDERED PRE
CONSTRUCTION WORK HAS LED TO
CONFUSION.

PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS
APPLY SITE ASSESSMENTS AND
FEASIBILITY STUDIES ARE CRUCIAL
TO CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
AS A TYPICALLY ETERMINE THE
SUITABILITY OF THE LAND WHERE

TYPICALLY NOT MOVE FORWARD.
WITHOUT THE SUCCESSFUL
COMPLETION OF AN ASSESSMENT OF
