My name is Jennifer Lin and I live in District 6 and also represent the National Employment Law Project, which strongly supports the proposed Right to Recall ordinance. As you may know, the majority of hotel and food service workers are laid off, and many don’t know if they will have a job to go back to. Workers need the City Council to act now to make sure that they aren't left behind in the economic recovery. Workers who have been laid off due to the Covid pandemic should have the opportunity to get their old jobs back before companies start hiring new employees. It's only fair that workers who've dedicated more time to working for a business should have the first chance at coming back to work. This is one way to ensure workers in Oakland benefit from the economic recovery. Please vote yes on the Right to Recall Ordinance today! Thank you.

It's especially important for workers who've dedicated more time to working for a business to have the first chance at coming back to work. Please support the Right to Recall Ordinance and pass it without delay!

UNITE HERE Local 2850 is the East Bay hospitality and food service workers’ union. We are urging you to pass the Right to Recall ordinance without delay. Thousands of hotel, food service, and airport workers are laid off because of the pandemic, and many have no assurance they will have jobs to go back to when things get better. You can give thousands of workers and their families hope for the future by voting yes on this ordinance today. To recover from the pandemic, workers also need strong tenant protections and well-funded public services, so we are also asking you to support the tenant protections upgrade and the equitable business tax.
