AB 1424: Cannabis Delivery Employees
This bill would prohibit a cannabis delivery employee from being laid off, discharged, or punished for refusing to perform work violating the Labor Code

Assembly Bill 1424 (Jones-Sawyer) was introduced to address occupational safety and health issues involving cannabis delivery employees. AB 1424 would amend Labor Section 6311.
This bill would prohibit a cannabis delivery employee from being laid off, discharged, or subject to an adverse employment action for refusing to perform work that would violate the Labor Code, an occupational safety or health standard, or a safety order of the division or standards board or for refusing to perform work that would create a real and apparent hazard to the employee or their fellow employees.
In addition, a cannabis delivery employee who is laid off, discharged, or otherwise not paid because the employee refused to perform work that would violate the Labor Code, an occupational safety or health standard, or a safety order of the division or standards board or for refusing to perform work that would create a real and apparent hazard to the employee or their fellow employees is required to have a right of action for wages for the time the employee is without work as a result of the adverse employment action.
The term “cannabis delivery employee” would be defined as an employee of a licensed entity that delivers cannabis or cannabis products.

Wah? This bill would prohibit a cannabis delivery employee from being laid off, discharged, or subject to an adverse employment action for refusing to perform work that would violate the Labor Code, an occupational safety or health standard, or a safety order? This bill is being pushed by sketchy Democrat Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer who represents the 59th Assembly District encompassing portions of South-Central Los Angeles, the neighborhoods of Florence-Graham and Walnut Park, and a part of Huntington Park. He’s a former labor organizer and has moved from one political position to another for years. Assembly District 59 is 77% Latino so it’s curious as to how he got elected there?
Wha???
There’s weed Door dash???
Is this the most pressing issue facing California??? Everything else is running smoothly???
This should be grounds for recall, on the basis of writing stupid laws….
