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:

Pay disclosure, HB2826
Bans salary history inquiries.

Pay equity, HB2826
The Katherine Johnson and Dorothy Vaughan Fair Pay Act proposes strong measures to address wage gaps and prohibit discrimination in pay, based on gender, race, and other factors.

Repeal of right to work, SB636
“Right to work” is the policy that takes away rights from workers and gives it to big corporations. Supporters claim these laws protect workers from being forced to join a union, already protected by federal law, but they make it harder for workers to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. This bill calls for a repeal.

Wage transparency, HB2826
Requires employers to post salary ranges in job postings.
