It is the largest annual volunteer event in California: Every September since 1985, tens of thousands of people have flocked to beaches, rivers and lakes across the state to pick up tons of trash, beautify the environment and help protect wildlife.But like downtown office buildings and public transit, Coastal Cleanup Day — which takes place this Saturday from 9 am to noon at 695 locations — is struggling to rebound from the COVID pandemic.“We’ve been seeing the volunteer numbers tick back up slowly,” said Eben Schwartz, marine debris program manager at the California Coastal Commission, which oversees the event. “We’re ramping back up to the size that we previously had.

And although the traditional cleanup day returned in 2021 and 2022, turnout last year was sti...

Under the National Labor Relations Act, or NLRA, anyone can file a charge against an employer, even if they do not work for that employer. The complaint accuses Scott of violating the section of the NLRA that lays out employees rights to participate in labor actions: “Within the past six months, the employer has interfered with, restrained, or coerced employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 7 of the Act.
