CalMatters: In Other Capitol Happenings: Job Equity
Job equity: Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas held a rally outside the state Capitol Tuesday to drum up support for Senate Bill 1340. The measure would help ensure equitable hiring practices when hiring for the state’s $180 billion in infrastructure projects over the next ten years. It would require state-funded contractors to prioritize workers from disadvantaged communities “so they have a front seat to getting access to these good jobs,” said the Los Angeles Democrat.
