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:

Ban of discrimination based on natural hair styles, SB73
This bill will prohibit discrimination in employment and create a cause of action against employers who discriminate.

Minimum wage, HB34
This bill will increase the minimum wage.

Pay equity (Ohio Equal Pay Act), HB115
This bill will require that a public employer make the comparable work value of a position in relationship to other employee positions a primary consideration in negotiating, establishing, recommending, and approving compensation.

Pregnancy accommodations, HB707
This bill requires that employers provide reasonable accommodations for employees related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions unless the accommodation would cause an undue hardship on the employer.
