"One of the most useful resources I have found in my 35 years as a labor and management representative."
— Robert J. MacLeod, Chief of Employee Relations, County of Sonoma.

"The authors have been forceful advocates for workers' rights for decades. In the often convoluted and contentious field of California labor and employment law, this book provides valuable insight into the law from a workers' rights perspective and is a helpful resource for employers, attorneys and HR professionals."
— Robert Roginson, Management Attorney and Former Chief Counsel of the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement

"One of the most useful books California workers will ever encounter. . . . Union leaders, stewards, advocates, and working people will find the answers to hundreds of burning questions. California Workers' Rights always reminds me of how hard we fought for these rights, and why we must continue to defend them."
— Art Pulaski, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO
