Act Now: Stop Alcohol Sales Through Self-Checkouts
Our brothers and sisters at UFCW need your help to pass legislation that will stop the sale of alcohol through self-checkout stands at grocery stores.
Please support Assembly Bill 1060 (De La Torre) which would require all alcohol sales to be made through a face-to-face transaction with a cashier.
California law already requires that tobacco, spray paint and some cold medicines be sold through a face-to-face transaction, but alcohol can be purchased through “virtual vending machines.”
That’s why we need to pass AB 1060. It will be up for a final vote any day now in the California State Senate -- and we need your help to get it passed.
Join the UFCW, MADD, California’s police officers and firefighters by contacting your State Senator today. Click here to send them an email, and urge them to vote YES on AB 1060!

The event celebrated the car wash workers’ victory against corporate abuse: the announcement by the City Attorney that two of Los Angeles’ worst carwash owners –brothers Benny and Nissan Pirian-- have each been sentenced to one year in jail.

LIUNA Rejoins the National AFL-CIO
Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka
On LIUNA Reaffiliation with the AFL-CIO
August 16, 2010
We are very happy that LIUNA is rejoining the AFL-CIO at a critical moment for working people. Union members, like all working families, have been hard hit by a brutal economy and decades of policies that have undermined the middle class. More than ever, now is the moment for a unified labor movement. And as we rebuild and strengthen the labor movement, we will work together to create good jobs, restore a middle-class economy, and elect leaders who stand with working people. Together, brick by brick, we will build an economy that works for everyone.
LIUNA brings a proud history and dedication to the union movement and we are delighted to welcome them back to the AFL-CIO. I want to personally recognize the president of LIUNA, Terry O’Sullivan, for his leadership and commitment to working people.
