California Legislature Passes CWA-Supported Bill to Protect Call
Center Workers
Last week, the California State legislature passed critical
legislation, sponsored by CWA District 9, that will protect call
center workers by putting in place serious financial disincentives for employers who move jobs out of California. The legislation faced
fierce opposition by various groups including the California Chamber
of Commerce, California Retailers Association, California Bankers
Association, CTIA-California Wireless Association, and
others. However, the legislation was able to move forward thanks to
the activism of CWA members, who mobilized to build support for the legislation, and the CWA District 9 Legislative and Political team,
who continuously engaged in prolonged and intense negotiations with
the Governor's office, state representatives, numerous organizations, employers, and state entities.
