• MEDIA: In a year of tremendous legislative gains for California workers

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 19 11:34:53 2022
    Economic Policy Institute's Daniel Costa on whether Donald Trump
    regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National
    Question on the campaign stump against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.epi.org/blog/in-a-year-of-tremendous-legislative-gains-for-california-workers-governor-newsom-was-wrong-to-veto-a-bill-to-protect-300000-migrant-workers/>
    | For evidence that migrant workers with L-1 visas are in fact
    | workers, Gov. Newsom need look no further than a glaring example
    | from the Silicon Valley. The U.S. Department of Labor found a tech
    | company in Fremont, Calif. was paying its L-1 workers from India
    | just $1.21 an hour to install their computer and network systems.
    | Many were working over 100 hours per week. If migrants employed with
    | L-1 visas who are working full-time plus 60 hours of unpaid overtime
    | doing skilled tasks aren't workers, then who is a worker, exactly?

    Will Newsom run in 2024 and will the election be a referendum on
    the National Question?
