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:

At-will employment, LD553/HP398
This bill will prohibit an employer from terminating the employment of an employee without cause.

Discrimination based on natural hairstyles, LD598/SP237
This bill will prohibit discrimination in employment and education based on hair texture or hairstyle.

Domestic violence victim discrimination, LD1294/SP422
This bill will prohibit discrimination in employment based on an applicant seeking or receiving a protective order.

Racial impact statements, LD2/HP5
This bill will require the inclusion of racial impact statements in the legislative process,

Wage theft, LD616/HP452
This bill will increase accountability for wage violations.
