Midnight Ride to Sacramento

Nearly one hundred Local 99 members joined the Midnight Ride to Sacramento on May 8 to make their voices heard on three assembly bills moving through the legislative process that, if passed, will have a direct impact on their livelihoods and the services they provide:

 

–Summer Unemployment Insurance for School Workers (Assembly Bill 615): This bill will allow school workers to collect unemployment insurance benefits during the summer months.

 

–A Voice for Child Care Providers (Assembly Bill 641): This bill will allow child care providers to have a stronger say in issues that impact their profession and the quality of child care in California.

 

–A Voice for Classified Employees in Charter Schools (Assembly Bill 917): Currently, teachers and parents can sign petitions to convert a traditional school into a charter. This bill will also allow classified employees at a school to have a voice in the charter conversion process.
