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:

Medical history discrimination, SB200
This bill will prohibit discrimination based on medical history.

Minimum wage, HB374
This bill will raise the minimum wage to $14 per hour over time.

Pay disclosure, SB148/HB283
This bill will make it unlawful for an employer to ask a prospective employee about wage history.

Pay equity, SB93
This bill will grant a woman who is employed in the state of Louisiana to be paid the same compensation for her service as is paid to a man who performs the same kind, grade, and quality of service, and a distinction in compensation shall not be made because of sex.

Sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, HB40
This bill will expand anti-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
