"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez |

State workers may lose 2 of their paid holidays Lynda Gledhill, San Francisco Chronicle
Cesar Chavez Day honoring the late labor leader is the most recent addition to the state holiday calendar. In 2002, Gov. Gray Davis signed the original bill, which called for courts and schools to shut down, too.
Concerned about the $90 million price tag to shut down all those services, Davis requested the more narrow version that included only state employees. It is recommended that schools spend part of their day teaching about the legacy of Chavez.
Some lawmakers were still concerned that state workers were getting a day off while farmworkers toiled in the field.------------------------------------------- posted 2:20 AM :: reference link ::
