We learned our rights and the power of solidarity through our union.
Independent Know-Your-Rights training would ensure workers across Santa Clara County could protect themselves.
We're excited for the Board of Supervisors to continue moving forward to pass a Fast Food Fair Work law.

“We don't give you hours because you're too old. If you don't like it, there's the door. We only want strong, young workers here." - this is what the boss said directly to one of us!
The schedule our coworker had for six years was cut from 35hrs/wk down to 16, and it stayed like this for years.

BREAKING: Workers at a KFC/TacoBell are on strike in Sunnyvale today due to discrimination and for threatening to report workers to ICE for challenging labor conditions.

Like many fast food workers, he was unaware of his right to be paid for all of his work- including missed rest breaks- and was afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation.

Today's strike is in Traci Parks district. It's crucial LA Lawmakers pass the Fast Food Fair Work Ordinance, which would ensure mandatory Know-Your-Rights training for all fast food workers in Los Angeles.

“When I had to repay the check cashing place for 2 bounced paychecks at once (pay for 4 weeks of work!), I didn’t have money for September’s rent, my son and I were evicted, and we lost all our belongings when the van with what possessions we had left got stolen.”

The company didn't resolve our issues after our first strike and we continued to be paid late or not at all, so we're keeping up the pressure.

Upon attempting to deposit or cash paychecks, the checks have bounced. We believe that this issue isn’t limited to one store, but may also be affecting other Subway locations in Los Angeles owned by the same owner.
