I believe that every job should provide dignity and respect for workers. Growing up witnessing my dad struggle to provide for his family as a low wage worker without access to benefits or workplace protections inspired my own career taking on greedy corporations and exploitative bosses.
Lilian has:
- Championed the Work Without Fear Act that would end discriminatory practices against immigrant workers
- Co-sponsored the Paid Leave for All Act
- Chief Co-sponsor of the Dignity in Pay Act that would eliminate the sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities
Lilian will continue to fight to:
- Work to end discriminatory practices against immigrant workers
- Fight for everyone to have access to paid family and medical leave
- Work to increase the minimum wage, including eliminating subminimum wages for tipped workers and people with disabilities
- Advocate for the expansion of the state’s Department of Labor in order to comprehensively address workplace abuse and provide more robust worker protections
