Hello Friends and Supporters,
We’re excited: there’s a big opportunity in California to improve working conditions in the nail salon industry!
Community Health for Asian American’s (CHAA) and Asian Americans Advancing Justice request your support for AB2437: The Nail Salon Fair Compensation and Competition Act (Ting).
The nail salon worker leaders and staff at CHAA have been organizing with the Oakland Nail Salon Community for almost five years now and AB2437 begins to address some of the most important issues they’ve identified through their community engagement. The bill will provide culturally and linguistically competent education and outreach regarding wage and hour laws to nail salon worker and owners. Please see the attached fact sheet for more details.
Watch: African American clients and Vietnamese nail salon workers bridge communities!
