Just two days after working families helped bring change to America in a historic election, Governor Schwarzenegger responded with more of the same worker takeaway proposals we have been fighting for years.

With unemployment at a record-high and families struggling to keep their homes, Schwarzenegger says the way to "stimulate" the economy is to cut worker overtime pay and take away meal breaks. We know that California workers cannot afford a pay cut and taking money out of our pockets does nothing to help the economy or fix the budget.

Tell the Legislature that working families need real economic stimulus that creates jobs and repairs our safety net, not more of the same anti-worker agenda. Send a letter today!

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Just two days after working families helped bring change to America in a historic election, Governor Schwarzenegger responded with more of the same worker takeaway proposals we have been fighting for years.

With unemployment at a record-high and families struggling to keep their homes, Schwarzenegger says the way to fix the economy is to cut worker overtime pay and take away meal breaks. We know that California workers cannot afford a pay cut and taking money out of our pockets does nothing to help the economy or fix the budget.

We call on the Legislature to reject these mean-spirited proposals which fail to address any of the urgent problems we face as a state. Instead, they make life even harder for families already struggling to get by.

Working families need real economic stimulus that creates jobs and repairs our safety net, not more of the same anti-worker agenda.

Sincerely,
