My name is Wei-Ling Huber. I am President of UNITE HERE Local 2850 representing hundreds of hospitality and food service workers working and living in the city of Oakland. I urge you to pass the Emergency Paid Sick Days ordinance and to stand up the Department of Workplace Standards and Enforcement, as required by Measure Z.
It is incredibly important that workers have the security to know that if they have COVID-19 symptoms they can stay home to quarantine themselves without fear of retribution or income loss. We also need the Department of Workplace Enforcement Standards to ensure that employers are following Oakland's laws. Our entire community will be safer if Oakland's essential workers are protected.
