my name is alejandra, and i've been a cafeteria worker at facebook for almost three years now. i'm a member of unite here local 19, and we're against this proposed law. before i worked in the cafeteria at facebook, i worked in a restaurant doing food prep for about three years. when i worked in the restaurant, i didn't have a regular schedule, i didn't have secure hours or any benefits or guaranteed raises. the working conditions aren't always the best either. i was working in a restaurant when i was pregnant with my daughter, and i tripped over a cable in the kitchen and i fell. i didn't want to get sent home, because then i wouldn't get paid, so i didn't do anything about it, just hoped for the best. i was on medi-cal when she was born. now after my coworkers and i organized the union in the facebook cafeteria, i can see a career in this job. i enjoy what i do. i can strive for a better position. we have guaranteed raises. i finally have health insurance, and i don't have to be stressed about money or what to do when my daughter gets sick, and we don't have to rely on public a
