Workers deserve more rights

We live in a culture where corporations simply have too much power. Currently, they can:

• Ask us to sign away our rights
• Push us out of our jobs for any reason or no reason
• Work while grieving a loved one
• Check our credit in the hiring process
• Fail to conduct investigations for reports of sexual harassment
• Discriminate against those suffering from domestic violence
• Retaliate against injured workers
• Make it difficult for us to leave toxic workplaces when our healthcare is tied to our jobs
• Silence us when we've been abused
• Pay some workers below minimum wage
• Not grant sufficient sick leave amid COVID-19
• Conduct abusive scheduling practices
• Avoid accountability for discrimination through wages and promotions
• Steal wages
• Block public employees from striking
• Ask about our desired salary ranges, which has a discriminatory impact
• Verbally abuse and sabotage workers with zero accountability

We can change this toxic culture for workers through by passing these bills into law:

Medicare for all, AB2200
Citizens should not have to have full-time work to have preventative medical care. Tying health care to work leaves employers with too much power.

Wage theft, SB261 + SB355
These bills call for enhanced enforcement against wage theft by increasing penalties, expanding the scope of violations covered, and proposing stronger enforcement mechanisms and penalties for wage theft, aiming to address the significant issue of unpaid wages affecting low-income workers in the state.
