Even when workers are well-informed about what they deserve from employers, they don’t have the power to do much more than resign and look for another job. What gives AB 800 teeth is that it specifically requires K-12 students to be educated, “on their right to join or organize a union at their workplace.”

Whether or not a union ought to be formed for a given workplace is not a matter on which I will comment. What I will say is that a mass of people who are well-educated on their rights makes them a force with which to be reckoned.
