Teamsters Local 630 assisted in a drive-through food-bank organized by the LA FED. Member volunteers, staff along with other local unions #teamsters396 came together to provide a little relief and support to hard hit working families throughout the Los Angeles area due to the COVID-19 pandemic. @thelafed at @ibew11 This National health emergency has resulted in thousands of union members being laid off throughout the region making it harder for families to survive. With the help of member volunteers and unions pulling together, over 3,000 families were fed. This is what being a Teamster is all about, lifting up the fallen and standing in solidarity for working people. #teamsters630 #covid19 #humanity #1u

SACRAMENTO — The number of coronavirus patients in California’s intensive care unit beds doubled overnight, rising from 200 on Friday to 410 on Saturday, Gov. Gavin Newsom said. The number of hospitalized patients testing positive for the coronavirus that causes the respiratory disease known as COVID-19 rose by 38.6% — from 746 on Friday to 1,034 on Saturday, Newsom said. “We’re blessed that we’re just at 410, devastating for the individuals there and their family members and loved ones,” Newsom said at a press conference in Sunnyvale on Saturday. “But by comparison and contrast to other parts of this country, that number seems relatively modest.” California has reported more than 115 deaths and more than 5,500 cases of coronavirus around the state as of Saturday. Los Angeles County has seen 32 deaths and more than 1,818 cases; Santa Clara County, the second hardest-hit county in the state, has reported 25 deaths and 591 cases.

Whole Food's largest supplier UNFI has consolidated its operations in the Northwest to increase profits.. in the process worker benefits, wages, and jobs were cut. Placing profits above the well being of it's workers will not be tolerated. We have decided to educate the public about the impact this terrible decision is having on workers and their families.
