They are not as high-profile as the WGA, but I would like to bring everyone’s attention to the imminent strike action by thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles. They are set to go on strike tomorrow, July 1st, 2023.

More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.

See, this is the trick conservatives are trying to pull.

They’ll justify banning gender affirming care for minors by saying there just isn’t enough data on the safety and efficacy of things like puberty blockers and hormones (despite these treatments existing since at least the early-1980’s).

Then they’ll turn around and ban any studies into the effects of gender affirming care for minors.

So “we don’t have enough information” becomes a perpetual excuse because we can never seek the information. It’s absurd!
