“Amazon workers provide the world with same-day shipping, but as workers we can’t even get same-day quality healthcare from the company when we’re seriously injured on the job.'

Back at the SOS office with Stand Up KC , MO Jobs with Justice Voter Action & citizens turning in IP signatures for Missourians for Healthy Families & Fair Wages! #MOLeg #MOWorkers #FightFor15 #PaidSickDays

If you work hard, you should be able to earn sick leave for the days you can't. It's common sense. Congrats to these organizers fighting for our communities!

' #PaidSickDays would be life changing because it would allow parents like me to put my health and my kids’ health first.'

-Marieta Ortiz, Stand Up KC leader

HAPPENING NOW❗Low-wage workers are in Jefferson City submitting over *210,000* signatures to the Missouri SOS Office to put paid sick leave & a $15 min wage on the ballot🎉

For OVER A DECADE low-wage #MOworkers have organized for #FairWages & benefits like #PaidSickDays on the job.

When CEOs think they can play the game, we will show them.

Maybe it's ambition.. or maybe it's lack of healthcare, housing, vacation time, sick leave.. a $7.25 minimum wage and governors across the country selling us out to megacorporations 🤔

But things are shifting...

Just minutes ago, the final vote was counted at the Labor Department in Topeka — and we're thrilled to report that with 86% voting 'YES,' United Academics of KU has won an overwhelming victory! #WEWON #UnionYES @aftunion @aaupnational @afthighered

“This is a really exciting day for us. By voting overwhelmingly to unionize, we now have a seat at the table to advocate for the needs of our university and the students we serve,” said Lisa-Marie Wright

Congratulations UAKU & AFT!

BREAKING: The Department of Labor has raised the overtime threshold.

The new rule says that everyone who makes under $58,656 and works over 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half.

That increases the threshold dramatically from $35,568.
