California’s Governor Newsom waits until last moment to veto bill to protect migrant workers

Despite our best efforts, on September 27, 2022 Governor Newsom vetoed AB364, a bill to protect temporary migrant workers from exploitative work conditions by unscrupulous foreign labor contractors.

Governor Newsom waited until his time had almost run out to veto AB364. That’s because we made an impact with our two years of advocacy.

Thank you to the Freedom United community for signing the petition, for emailing and calling the Governor’s office and tweeting at the Governor to make your voice heard.

We will continue to advocate for the protection of all temporary migrant workers from exploitation and forced labor. Read our full field report here.
