Dear Federal Workers and Families,
The ongoing government shutdown has created immense hardship for thousands of workers and their families across California. As a Labor Movement, our solidarity and coordination are our greatest strength.

We are mobilizing every resource to support you. To help you navigate this difficult time, we want to invite you and your members to a Zoom Layoff Assistance Session.
SESSION DETAILS:
Date: Wednesday, October 29th
