UCSB Community Labor Center hosts Worker and Tenant Rights Fair

More than 15 organizations tabled at the Worker and Tenant Rights Fair on Nov. 4 at the Student Resource Building lawn, spearheaded by UC Santa Barbara Community Labor Center. The organizations which attended work with tenants and workers specifically in the UCSB community and throughout the Central Coast. They shared resources with the community and opportunities to get involved. The Community Labor Center’s Programs and Operations Director, Fabienne Doiron, helped lead the event alongside some of the organization’s student assistants, as well as the External Vice President for Statewide Affairs’ office. Doiron shared that the variety of organizations present included unions, community organizations, student organizers and several state agencies. Doiron said she and others at the Community Labor Center have realized a lot of students hold their first jobs in college and are not aware of their rights as workers.
