California United Law GroupCalifornia retail workers often don't realize they're entitled to paid 10-minute rest breaks for every 4-hour work period. These aren't just suggestions—they're legal requirements. Breaks can't be skipped because it's busy, and they can't be "on-call" breaks where you have to stay available. If your employer denies these breaks, they owe you premium pay for each violation. The law protects you, even in small businesses. #LaborRights #CaliforniaLaw #RetailWorkers
Workers who report discrimination have strong legal protections in California. Under FEHA, employers cannot retaliate by firing, demoting, reducing pay, or creating hostile conditions. If you experience retaliation: document everything with dates and details, report to HR in writing, file with CA Civil Rights Department if needed. Know your rights and timelines. #LaborRights #WorkplaceJustice #EmploymentLaw #California

California's Labor Code §226 protects workers by requiring detailed, accurate paystubs. Every wage statement must show gross wages, hours worked, hourly rates, itemized deductions, available sick leave, and more. These aren't suggestions—they're legal obligations. When employers cut corners on paystubs, employees can't verify they're being paid correctly. Know what your paystub should include. #WorkersRights #CaliforniaEmploymentLaw #LaborRights

Gearing Up for May Day: Solidarity Schools Spread
Last year a network of unions and community organizations organized the largest May Day actions in U.S. history: 1,200 actions in all 50 states. This year, the stakes are even higher, and the examples inspiring us are even bolder. The Chicago Teachers Union’s House of Delegates, the union’s governing body, has endorsed a national call for “no school, no work, no shopping” on May 1. Recent boycotts of Disney, Target, and Tesla have shown us that we can shake the pillars of corporate America.
