    Senator Yee requests that the Senate Rules Committee immediately take up and reject the confirmation of David Crane to the University of California Board of Regents. Crane advocates ending collective bargaining rights for public employees and does not represent the diversity of California. Yee was joined by over 300 public employees in protesting this confirmation, as Crane promotes a dangerous agenda that would harm working families.
