OAKLAND, CA - In partnership with Councilmember Dan Kalb, Councilmember Noel Gallo, and labor and community leaders, Oakland City Councilmember Sheng Thao is proud to announce the RIGHT TO RETURN Ordinance, which establishes a just and fair process for hotels, stadiums, airport hospitality services, and restaurants to guarantee a right to return for employees laid off due to the COVID-19 crisis.
