The proposed AV legislation aims to address these issues and keep the public safe while maintaining good California jobs.\nWe also cannot overlook the potential cuts to good jobs and how these jobs support the livelihoods of so many California families.\n“Lawmakers have an obligation to protect their constituents, and they must prioritize public safety and good jobs.”“[Tech companies] don’t talk about people.\nIt can create safer environments, and we want it to do so,” said Lorena Gonzalez, California Labor Federation Executive Secretary-Treasurer.\n“This is why I fully support the human operator requirement bill - it’s time California puts safety and good jobs first.”“The Teamsters are no strangers to technology.
