Pillar 2
Good Jobs & Modern Economy
The Problem → My Policy Plan → Outcomes
THE PROBLEM
WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST
The economy works for shareholders, not workers. Gig labor lacks protections, AI is reshaping work, and union rights are under attack.
MY POLICY PLAN
WHAT WE'LL DO ON DAY ONE, AND BEYOND
AI Worker Protection Act retraining, transition pay, and bargaining rights. Strengthen unions and crack down on wage theft.
Portable benefits for gig and contract workers.
$30 minimum wage by 2028 with regional adjustments.
California Jobs Guarantee for Green Construction and infrastructure.
Tax credits for small businesses that hire and train locally.
