SEC Moves From 'Just A Job' To 'JUST Jobs'
In response to constituents’ issues with finding and keeping good jobs, Social Equity Caucus members and allies have been meeting monthly to jumpstart a Quality Jobs Working Group (also known as the Q). Attendees have included Bay Localize, East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Assemblywoman Loni Hancock, LIFETIME, the National Economic Development and Law Center, Unite HERE, Remediation Services Inc., United Way of the Bay Area, Urban Habitat, Women’s Initiative for Self-Employment, and others. Many in the group have discrete campaigns around jobs, and as such the Q is evolving into a support structure for shared research and messaging. The first task underway is the establishment of a common definition and understanding around what exactly is a “Quality Job,” in an effort to move towards joint campaigns, publications, and events that will incorporate the larger SEC body.
