Urge your state legislators to co-sponsor workers' rights bills in Nebraska
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:
Minimum wage, LB327
This bill will increase the minimum wage to $15 in 2027 with incremental increases thereafter.
Paid family and medical leave (Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act), LB57
This bill will create a fund for family and medical leave insurance.
Sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, LB670
This bill will prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
