Janice is a strong supporter of organized labor and the right of workers to organize. Janice has always stood on behalf of those who have built this country and who want to rebuild and renew it again.
She is proud to have walked the picket lines with the ILWU when they were locked out of the docks in 2002. She successfully fought to see that hotel workers along the Century Corridor near LAX received a fair living wage; implemented a system to provide quality family health care for workers at Los Angeles World Airports; and has worked to get struggling, independent truck drivers at the Port of Los Angeles well-paying long-term jobs.
Janice Hahn has stood with airport workers, grocery workers, court interpreters, nurses, and others, in the struggle for good jobs. Janice strongly believes that there should never be a class of people termed the “working poor.” People who work hard should not be poor in California.
