San José Workers Win 5-Year Battle for Stronger Wage Protections

Today, the City of San José took a significant step in combating wage theft in the construction industry by approving a Responsible Construction Ordinance (RCO). This ordinance empowers the City to withhold certificates of occupancy for private construction projects if owners, developers, contractors, or subcontractors have unpaid wage theft judgments. This powerful law not only safeguards workers by preventing and prosecuting wage theft but also supports responsible businesses that prioritize fair compensation for their employees.

This triumph is the result of a five-year campaign which brought together labor and community allies led by Working Partnerships USA, the South Bay Labor Council, the Santa Clara Building Trades Council and the Wage Theft Coalition, elected representatives and local contractors who are committed to building a city which values its workforce. 

Despite roadblocks, pushback and lobbying by a few wealthy, well-connected developers, San José Councilmembers voted to move forward with a memo which represented a fair compromise that strikes a balance that benefits both workers and responsible businesses. The memo, from Councilmembers Davis, Jimenez, Torres, Ortiz, and Foley satisfactorily addressed businesses’ questions about compliance while ensuring that workers still have a robust tool to hold perpetrators of wage theft accountable. The decision reflects a balanced approach benefiting both workers and responsible businesses, marking a victory for labor rights and fair business practices.

Ahead of the vote, Senator Dave Cortese sent a letter to City Council offering his support for the powerful ordinance: “By requiring companies with outstanding unpaid final wage theft judgments — that is, companies who are currently in violation of State law – to pay the judgment owed before they are awarded a Certificate of Occupancy, the City’s proposed ordinance empowers victims of wage theft to be made whole in partnership with the City.”

“This has been a long battle for worker protections, with challenges from well-connected developers and a lack of political will. We’re grateful to our City Council champions, Davis, Jimenez, Torres, Ortiz, and Foley, for taking accountability, and for their leadership in crafting a compromise that truly works for working folks,” said Jean Cohen, Executive Officer, South Bay Labor Council. 

“Today, we made it clear that there is no room for wage theft in our city. The Responsible Construction Ordinance not only protects the vital construction workforce but also sets a strong example for implementing fair work standards across various sectors, including fast food and childcare,” says Maria Noel Fernandez, Executive Director of Working Partnerships USA.


Working Partnerships USA – Working Partnerships USA is a 501c3 non profit focused on research, advocacy and building the political power of people of color, immigrants, women, low-income residents and workers. They’re committed to building inclusive regional economies where everyone has a good job, a home, access to care and a voice in their government. Their work is rooted in racial justice and labor rights, and driven by the urgent need to address the growing economic inequality in Silicon Valley, and its impact on working families, now and into the future.

South Bay Labor Council – The South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council represents 101 unions and more than 100,000 union members in Santa Clara and San Benito counties. For over 50 years the Labor Council has championed the cause of working families in the South Bay. The Labor Council’s primary goal is to advance candidates, causes, and policies that benefit working families. We achieve this objective with a combination of activities, including community organizing, leadership training, campaigning, and issues advocacy. The Labor Council is proud to run the largest, most sophisticated, grassroots political campaign operation in the South Bay.

Santa Clara Building Trades Council – The Santa Clara and San Benito Counties Building and Construction Trades Council proudly represents 27 building trade unions and district councils, with an affiliate membership of over 35,000 highly trained and skilled construction workers. Chartered on Feb. 9, 1960, the Building Trades Council has been the driving force for excellence in the construction industry. Our affiliated members create and rebuild local infrastructure, helping the region to grow and flourish. Through a focus on training, safety and quality work, our affiliates provide the highest level of professionalism, helping projects to come in on or under schedule and on or under budget.

Wage Theft Coalition – The Santa Clara County Wage Theft Coalition actively works to end wage theft, defend workers’ rights, and enforce wage theft judgments.  We hope to accomplish this through policy advocacy, community organizing and outreach, direct action, education, leadership development, and resource coordination.  We work with affected workers and their families, particularly low-wage workers who have been victims of the crime of wage theft.

Your City, Your Voice : Guide to Participating in San José City Council Meetings

Take Action Now

June 11: San Jose City Council Meeting

On June 11, the City Council will vote to move forward the plan to offer “Know Your Rights” training for fast food workers in our budget. Developed in partnership with the County, this training program will ensure workers receive their full wages and won’t cost the City extra money from the General Fund. Let’s flood the City Council meeting on Tuesday with our support for fast food workers in San José. Whether in person, via Zoom, or through email, let your voice be heard loud and clear!

  • Learn more about how the Fast Food Fair Work Ordinance can be a transformative force for the 13,000 fast food workers in San José and the communities who depend on them.
  • Join fellow San José community members and sign the petition to call for a Fast Food Fair Work Ordinance.
  • Send a letter to our City Council letting them know you support ‘Know Your Rights” training for  fast food workers.
  • Review the talking points and instructions for the City Council meeting on June 11.

Why your voice matters

Providing public comments during local City Council meetings is important for several reasons:

Representation and Participation: Public comments allow citizens to participate in the democratic process by voicing their opinions and concerns directly to their elected representatives. This helps ensure that the government is responsive to the needs and viewpoints of the community.

Transparency and Accountability: Public comments contribute to the transparency of local government proceedings. They provide an opportunity for issues to be raised publicly and for discussions to be held in the open, increasing the accountability of elected officials.
Informed Decision-Making: Hearing from members of the public can provide City Council members with valuable insights and perspectives that they may not have considered otherwise. This can lead to more informed decision-making.

Community Engagement: Public comments can foster a sense of community engagement and involvement in local governance. When citizens feel that their voices are heard, they are more likely to stay engaged in civic affairs and take an active interest in the well-being of their community.

Checks and Balances: Public comments serve as a form of checks and balances within the democratic system. They provide a mechanism for citizens to hold their elected officials accountable and to ensure that decisions are made in the public interest.
Overall, public comments during City Council meetings are an important way for citizens to participate in the democratic process, hold their elected officials accountable, and contribute to the effective functioning of local government.

Every San José resident has the opportunity to speak directly to their representatives – and have a voice in their governance.

City Council meetings are vital to civic engagement

Every week, our city council members gather to make decisions that impact all our lives, ranging from issues like childcare and housing to pedestrian safety and beyond. It is a crucial forum where the voices of the community can be heard and valued. Every San José resident has the opportunity to speak directly to their representatives, playing an active role in the governance of our city.

City council members actively seek input from regular San José residents and their constituents, recognizing the importance of diverse perspectives — especially from those who will be directly impacted by a decision. This process not only provides an avenue for residents to share in decision-making but also serves as a mechanism to hold our elected representatives accountable for fulfilling their responsibilities.

Public comments are open to everyone, requiring no special qualifications. Here’s everything you need to know so you can make your voice heard through this process:

All you need to know

  1. Public comments are open to anyone, and no special qualifications are required.
  2. Comments carry more weight when they come from individuals directly impacted by a decision or legislation. If you or your community will be affected, make your voice heard.
  3. Each speaker will have 1 minute to speak, with those needing translators receiving double the allotted time.
  4. The Mayor and City Clerk determine speaker time allocations based on the number of speakers. Time cannot be ceded to another speaker.
  5. In-person comments are generally taken first, and the order is based on sign-up or call-in. The Mayor and City Clerk maintain the discretion to alter the order of speakers.
  6. In-person attendees must sign up at the table to the left when entering the council chambers to speak. If you don’t sign up here, you won’t be able to comment. Working Partnerships USA staff can assist you if needed. 

Tips for providing public comment + sample talking points

  • Only speak during the agenda item that pertains to your comment
  • If you attempt to provide comment before or after the item, the mayor or chairperson will cut you off. It is possible that we will each only have one minute to speak, so writing your comment beforehand and practicing it may help you stay on time. 
  • State upfront who you are, your connection to San José and what you are speaking for:
    • “Hello, my name is ________ and I am from ________ and a member of the  ________. 
    • I’m here to support ________.
  • State why you are supporting this or the values that brought you here.
  • Include your main calls to action again. 

Thank you for participating in local democracy!

Our 2023 Impact: Powering Up Silicon Valley

As 2023 concludes, I’m energized by the remarkable efforts and victories defining our community. Together, we continue to draw inspiration from a legacy of pioneering labor organizers like Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Fred Ross, and local community leaders such as Blanca Alvarado and Chava Bustamante. Their relentless determination shapes my leadership, and empowers us to tackle seemingly impossible challenges. We also draw strength from workers nationwide and locally, including San José city workers, employees at tech giants like Google and Meta, and others fighting for better working conditions and against wage theft daily. Our collective strength fuels us.

At the core of our work is a dedication to ensuring families not only survive but flourish in our community. During my first year as Executive Director, I’m proud to see this dedication embodied by our team, donors, supporters, and partners. Collectively, we’ve provided direct services impacting thousands of lives in Santa Clara County. We helped secure parental leave for city workers in San José, won $100 million in the city budget for crucial programs that serve working families, laid the foundation to end wage theft, and passed legislation making San José the first city in California to restrict corporations with significant foreign ownership from influencing local elections. Watch the video below to learn more about what we’ve accomplished together.

In the coming year, we’re focusing on making an impact on the lives of fast-food workers, improving child care in Santa Clara County, and expanding our organizing and power building efforts. Housing justice is also a top priority, and we’re working towards making changes that matter, like more funding for affordable housing and giving tenants a stronger voice. With the growing number of renters in our community, we have a unique opportunity to shape the conversation and demand policies that truly meet the needs of those who call this region home.

I invite you to be a crucial part of this transformative journey. Your support is pivotal to our continued success. By contributing to Working Partnerships USA, you directly fuel our initiatives, allowing us to make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Warm regards,

Maria Noel Fernandez
Executive Director, Working Partnerships USA

Power Solidarity: Your Support Powers Care and Community

Earlier this year, while I was making phone calls for one of Working Partnerships USA’s outreach campaigns, I sat down with several other volunteers to take our break. Among us, there were college students, a teacher, and individuals working in tech, retail, and the nonprofit and public sectors, ranging from early the 20s to 70.

Despite the late hour (many of us were there after a full day at work or at school), our smiles, our spirits and conversations were buzzing about the interactions we’d had over the phone.

We had many great moments to share – reaching people who swiftly grasped why we were calling and were eager to support, receiving gratitude for our efforts and winning over unlikely allies who offered to spread the word to family and friends. Although a few of us lamented about hang ups and the initial fear of talking to strangers, we enjoyed what we were doing – making connections with community members.

Curious about why they decided to join the phone bank that evening, I asked the other volunteers, sitting closest to me and one of their replies were eye opening:

“I am here because Working Partnerships USA cares about what is happening with me, my family, and other people in my neighborhood. I see Working Partnerships out there, doing what it takes to make politicians and businesses listen to what we need to make our lives better. I want other people to see that and feel that too!”

I see that experience and feeling reflected in many of the people that we work with everyday, from those who we touch through our programming and campaigns, our regional partners and allies and our donors. Today, I want to share this message from  Working Partnerships USA Board Member and donor, Leslie Rodriguez, and Community Outreach Team member Nick Palka on what inspired them to join our movement, and why they continue to be part of our mission.

Our work is about more than phone banks and campaigns; it’s about forging connections. It’s about the people we bring  together across neighborhoods, workplaces, and cities to build a future in Silicon Valley that’s equitable and inclusive for all of us. 

Join us. Donate today to secure better jobs, safer neighborhoods and a Silicon Valley where each of us can feel rooted in our communities, and build better futures together. 

Yours, In Power,

Andrea Cousins

Development Director, Working Partnerships USA

Invisible No More: Discovering Power, Purpose, and Belonging Through Community Advocacy

A career in social justice and politics was never part of my plan. Growing up undocumented in Silicon Valley, my focus remained on doing well in school so I could build a better life for myself and my family. Activism and organizing was certainly not for someone like me. 

Even as my family and I tried our best to fit in, the world around us was constantly reminding us of our differences. Life wasn’t easy but I was told that the best way for us to deal with prejudice and marginalization was to keep my head down and stay out of trouble. And so I did. But during my junior year, something changed. I was introduced to this amazing grassroots organization that gave me the courage to speak up and try to make a difference—not just for my family but for our whole community. It turned out to be a game-changer for all of us — and here I am today, and here is my vision for the future.

Today, I’m not just the Political Director at Working Partnerships USA – I’m also a parent and neighbor, fighting to keep our communities vibrant and diverse and enabling my community to find their voice and their power. My mission? To make Santa Clara County an amazing place for all families. I want to reach people with stories like mine, and see their experiences and voices as valuable and powerful.

I’m excited to be part of an organization that values the folks behind Silicon Valley’s success – the delivery drivers, cafeteria workers, office cleaners, and more. We love what we do, but many are still struggling to make ends meet. I want you to join us, share our stories, and help them to find their voice and power, like I did.

By supporting Working Partnerships USA, you’re contributing to a community where voices are heard, where everyone feels welcomed, and where leadership emerges from the most unexpected places. Please donate today!

In power and solidarity,

Lucila Ortiz
Political Director, Working Partnerships USA

As we wrap up this year, our team is reflecting on the transformative journey we have taken together — a journey that is making the way for a Silicon Valley where all of us can thrive. 

Throughout 2023, we have shown that power is at the root — rideshare and delivery drivers fighting for safe working conditions; childcare workers leading the way to transform the future of care work; our elder tenants organizing to ensure they can continue living close to friends and family; and, you, our supporters, taking action by sending hundreds of emails and using your voice to protect funding for more affordable housing.

This Giving Tuesday, it is time to Power Up for 2024. We need your support today, as we kickstart our year-end fundraising campaign to ensure that we have the resources in 2024 to build a future where all of us can prosper.

Together, we can drive meaningful organizing and positive change with the backing of hundreds of dedicated individuals like you.

Make a substantial impact by giving today—whether through a one-time gift or by becoming a monthly donor. Your contribution will play a crucial role in ensuring our success next year as we strive to create healthy and safe neighborhoods, foster just cities, and promote a vibrant democracy that benefits everyone. 

Your generosity will help pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

In Solidarity,

Maria Noel Fernandez

We are proud to stand alongside @seiu521, @seiu102 We are proud to stand alongside @seiu521, @seiu1021, @parentvoicesoakland, Headstart workers, parents, and providers to demand justice for our children, families, and care workers from our Care Workers Council. 

Childcare is under attack in Santa Clara County.
❌ Headstart and Early Head Start are being defunded
❌ Childcare providers are being laid off
❌ Facilities are shutting down permanently

These cuts hit hardest in East and South County, where families already face limited access to childcare. These are childcare deserts — and they’re growing.

This is a call to action: Invest in care, not cuts.

Every child deserves a safe, nurturing place to grow. Every working family deserves support. Every provider deserves respect.

We're organizing for Childcare for All — because strong communities start with strong care.

NEW REPORT by @CHIRLA_ORG and @CAFastFoodUnion she NEW REPORT by @CHIRLA_ORG and @CAFastFoodUnion sheds light on the specific ways that fear about immigration status, and lack of knowledge about their rights, are impacting the lives of over 600,000 fast food workers across California.

While union workers have used their rights to hold fast food bosses accountable, many workers continue to live in fear.

Thanks to the bold leadership of our elected representatives , Santa Clara County is exploring providing Know Your Rights training for fast food workers. We need to let them know that we support safe, in-person training for Fast Food Workers in our county, where they can learn about their rights, understand labor laws, and connect with trusted resource people for guidance on workplace issues.

🕯This year's Workers’ Memorial Day event was 🕯This year's Workers’ Memorial Day event was a powerful reminder of why this work is urgent and necessary. In a world where too many workers still face unsafe conditions, low wages, and a lack of basic protections, creating spaces to share knowledge, build solidarity, and honor those we’ve lost is essential to pushing for real change.⁠

As we continue the fight for safer, fairer workplaces, we carry with us the memories of those we honored and the lessons we heard. ⁠

Now more than ever, fast food workers need access Now more than ever, fast food workers need access to Know Your Rights trainings.

From wage theft to unsafe working conditions to unpredictable scheduling, too many workers are facing exploitation without the tools to fight back.

Know Your Rights trainings are critical for empowering workers with the knowledge they need to stand up, speak out, and demand better. These trainings are more than just information—they’re a step toward dignity, safety, and justice on the job.

Today, let's call on Santa Clara County to ensure every fast food worker is empowered to advocate for their rights and their wellbeing!
🗣️ Workers from different sectors of our comm 🗣️ Workers from different sectors of our community came together for a powerful Workers Roundtable with the candidates running to represent San Jose District 3.

In a city where working people are the backbone of our communities—providing care, serving food, driving passengers, cleaning homes, and more—worker voices deserve to be at the forefront of the decisions that will shape their lives and livelihoods.

At the roundtable, workers spoke honestly about what it’s like to live and work in San Jose today—the struggle to pay rent on low wages, having insufficient benefits or protections, unsafe job conditions, and more. In turn, candidates shared their vision for a San Jose that works for everyone, and their individual plans to incorporate care, dignity, and fairness at the center of the city's policy decisions.

Polls are open tomorrow for San Jose's D3 Special Election. Let's make sure the voices of working families are heard! 🗳️
