ABC: Rep. Schiff demands end to ‘poverty wages’ for LA school workers on strike

Adam just joined tens of thousands of bus drivers, cafeteria workers, special education workers, and custodial staff on strike for higher wages and health care benefits in Los Angeles last week — and they won. [Adam Schiff for Senate]( Team — we couldn’t let tomorrow’s big FEC deadline pass us by without sharing why your support for Adam’s campaign makes such an impact. But first, we’re urgently asking: [Please chip in $10 to help reach our goal — your support is a key reason why Adam is able to campaign across California and stand with workers like he did last week.]( Adam just joined tens of thousands of bus drivers, cafeteria workers, special education workers, and custodial staff on strike for higher wages and health care benefits in Los Angeles last week — and they won. [Adam Schiff speaks at picket line rally with striking members of SEIU Local 99]( “The median income of our bus drivers and our cafeteria workers and our school aides is $25,000 a year. Who can live on $25,000 a year? Those are poverty wages.” Adam’s campaign is about creating an economy that works for everyone. Caring for students is one of the most meaningful careers — it’s time to support those who support our kids. That’s the message that Adam delivered on the picket line — and the leadership of the Los Angeles Unified School District responded. A 30 percent pay increase for workers. Fully paid health care benefits for union members. But it’s clear we need to do more. And it would help if the federal government met its commitment to provide greater funding for eduction — it would help a lot. Republicans don’t want Adam in the Senate fighting for us, and they’re willing to go to any lengths to stop him. You’ve seen their attacks. They’re only going to get nastier. So please: [We need to reach our first FEC fundraising goal of the campaign before midnight tomorrow so Adam can keep fighting for us. Please, team, we’re urgently asking — chip in $10 or any amount that works for you ahead of this critical deadline.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [EXPRESS DONATE $10]( [EXPRESS DONATE $25]( [EXPRESS DONATE $50]( [EXPRESS DONATE $100]( [EXPRESS DONATE $250]( [ANOTHER AMOUNT]( Thanks for stepping up ahead of this massively important deadline for our campaign. — Team Schiff P.S. — There’s still time to become a Founding Donor of Schiff for Senate if you haven’t already before we file our quarterly fundraising report with the Federal Election Commission.
