Former Boston mayor and current United States Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is the Hilda Solis of the Biden administration. Hilda fulfilled the U.S. Secretary of Labor role under Obama during his first term, and is a
unionista who enriches herself with sweetheart deals that allow her to infiltrate and inculcate more Union dogma and policy into government. Currently, she’s infecting the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, and has done untold damage. She’s highly paid in order to inflict that damage, and so is Marty Walsh.
Which is why he is the perfect person to be installed as Secretary of Labor. Biden and the Unions are slathering to have the “Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO Act)” shoved into law. This would be the first, brutal step in changing the national labor laws and regulations to suit their agenda of Union-only jobs, and destroy the independent contractor model.
With AB5 about to roil California trucking, industry ponders next step
Injunction that blocked independent contractor law could be lifted within weeks; the choices on what to do aren’t simple ones
Now what?
That will clearly be the question not just in California but in the management executive suites of trucking companies big and small all across the country that do business in the Golden State, given that an appellate court has reversed the injunction that stopped California from enforcing the AB5 law on independent contractors and its follow-up clarifying legislation, AB2257.
The injunction was granted in a lawsuit filed by the California Trucking Association against the state’s attorney general, who is now Robert Bonta but was Xavier Becerra when the suit was filed. Becerra is now Health and Human Services secretary.
Raising Standards for Fast-Food Workers in California
The Powerful Role of a Sectoral Council
Download the PDF here.
Fast-food workers across the United States, often adults living in or close to poverty, typically earn very low wages with few benefits and experience poor working conditions. Setting and enforcing high standards in the industry is particularly challenging: It is heavily franchised, many small employers in the industry have little ability to profitably raise standards, and most workers are not unionized, making the fast-food sector in urgent need of improvement.
California can take action at the state level to address these problems and improve the lives of the state’s more than half a million fast-food workers by creating a sectoral council, as called for in the proposed FAST Recovery Act.
