This is so off base. It sounds like a regurgitation of a Red State post. If anyone wants to read about Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher, just check her Wikipedia page:

She was involved with the AFL-CIO, but I see no mention of involvement with the Teamsters union.

"Dude. I am a Teamster. I ran for office as an organizer and labor leader. I believe in unions to my core. Stand in solidarity with workers every single day. Bought & paid for? No... I am the union."

Alright fair enough, Lorena is a Teamster. But why would you assume that the union wrote it when she is more than capable of writing laws herself?

The AFL-CIO wrote it.

You realise that parent actually stated she was the architect and you disagreed about her being a teamster?

Doesn't look like an "admission" to me. Looks like pride.

I'm not familiar with red state (I'm a maxed out dem donor BTW). I will look into Lorena a bit more though to confirm she is not labor involved. There was one other bill that had this same sort of ham fisted approach which turned out to be heavily union influenced, which is why I wondered about AB5 (ie, even highly liberal orgs struggle to operate within this bill FYI because even if you want to do right many things are just not possible with it).
Its main architect, Lorena Gonzales, is a Teamsters woman through and through, by her own admission.
