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:

Bereavement leave, HB750
Workers deserve time off to properly grieve a loved one without worrying about losing their jobs. Bereavement leave bills would give workers time off to address the death.

Ban of discrimination based on natural hair styles, SB38
This bill will prohibit discrimination in employment and create a cause of action against employers who discriminate.

Pay disclosure, SB373
Bans salary history inquiries.

Sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, SB608, HB1460
This bill will prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Wage transparency, SB373
Requires employers to post salary ranges in job postings.

Whistleblower protections (Whistleblower's Protection Act), SB366
This bill will expand whistleblower protections to include public utilities employees.
