Amazed to see 3 big bills for supply chain workers become law! #AB701 bans unsafe warehouse quotas, #SB62 garment industry accountability & #SB338 expands retailer liability when they use trucking co’s that misclassify drivers! Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher Senator María Elena Durazo Lena Gonzalez
Thank you Speaker Paul Renner Florida House Majority Office and FL House members for unanimously supporting final passage of #SB62 by Erin Grall! It’s been a privilege working with Robert DuBoise to secure compensation for the 37 years he lost. #FlaPol
Port drivers stand with garment workers. We are all supply chain workers and deserve a living wage and safety at work! So let’s pass #SB62 #SB338 #AB794 & #SB700 so that garment workers and port drivers can support their families! #ProtectPortDrivers #GarmentWorkerProtectionAct
