@bdcbt.bsky.socialWe’re not just tired of low pay, inadequate protections, and chaotic scheduling… we’re organizing unions to say enough is enough! CONGRATULATIONS to Starbucks baristas in Columbia, MD - they just won their union election 19 to 3! ✊
Show PostMy vision for good jobs and economic growth starts with a simple idea: the people of DC should build the future of DC.
Show PostDC workers are the backbone of our local economy. We will use every tool to ensure they get the wages and benefits they earned — especially as the cost of living in DC keeps rising. If your worker rights have been violated in DC, contact us at workers@dc.gov, trabajadores@dc.gov, or 202-724-7730.
Show PostNow, Brother Mechanical will pay $500,000 in worker restitution and $1 million in penalties. Critically, the company will also be required to prevent worker misclassification by reviewing subcontractors' payrolls, conducting audits, and training workers. And OAG will monitor future compliance.
Show PostWorker misclassification is illegal and hurts both workers and the District. Workers are deprived of basic protections like overtime pay, paid sick leave, and paid family leave. And companies avoid paying taxes that fund Social Security, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation.
