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, HB403
This bill will ban constructive discharge and wrongful termination and requires just cause in firing.

Ban of discrimination based on natural hair styles, SB154, HB168
This bill will prohibit discrimination in employment and create a cause of action against employers who discriminate.

Equal pay, minimum wage, paid sick leave, paid family medical leave, and wage theft, S326, the Economic Security Act
This comprehensive bill includes provisions to end wage theft, increase the state minimum wage, mandate equal pay for equal work, and require paid sick leave and family medical leave.

Minimum wage and subminimum wage (One Fair Wage), HB353
This bill will increase the minimum wage and eliminate the subminimum wage for tipped workers.
