California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO:

No worker should be denied affordable health care coverage. It’s a lifeline for working families. But right now corporations can weaponize employees’ health care coverage during a labor dispute.

The Assembly JUST passed #AB2530, so we’re urging the Senate to do the same! https://t.co/kSPb0MCuaE
