Subject: Don't Repeal Workers' Rights to Return to Work! ‐EXTERNAL‐
Hon. Mayor and City Council,
Long Beach hospitality and janitorial workers led the nation in winning important recall and retention protections that ensure workers have the right to return to work as the economy improves and remain at work if these workplaces are sold. Please don't repeal these important protections, but make them permanent. Workers, primarily immigrant women of color, have fought hard to make these jobs pathways to the middle class. The economic effects of this pandemic will last for years. Hotels and janitorial companies continue to change hands and go through periods of layoff as travel varies in response to new variants. Workers should not lose their jobs permanently because of a change in ownership or layoff for no fault of their own. The City must not repeal our recall and retention law, but rather make it permanent so we can survive this pandemic and have these important protections in place for future economic crises.

Hon. Mayor and City Council,
Long Beach led the nation in passing strong protections that ensure hospitality and janitorial workers have a right to return to work after layoff and remain at work when the ownership changes, spurring a nationwide movement to protect workers and ensuring we maintained our skilled hospitality and janitorial workforce in Long Beach. Now, these protections are in danger of repeal, threatening return to jobs that provide a pathway to the middle class and making it even more difficult to maintain our skilled workforce in Long Beach.
The City must not repeal these important protections for workers, make them permanent! Cesar Castro
