It’s not just #NewJersey. #WageTheft is a huge problem throughout the #USA.

And no surprise here:

“Wage theft disproportionately impacts #peopleofcolor, with #Latino workers the most likely to be victims, and #women more likely to experience it than men”
Strong #laborunions and strong pro #labor regulations and regulators are the best defense against this largest of all forms of theft.

#USA #Amazon #AntiUnions #LaborUnions: "Amazon hired at least two union-busting consulting firms specifically to prevent its drivers from joining the International Brotherhood of Teamsters over the course of 2022, according to six reports filed to the Department of Labor and obtained by Motherboard. This is notable because Amazon claims that the drivers who deliver its packages are not its employees.

Motherboard reviewed five reports filed to the Department of Labor, which showed that Amazon spent more than $14.2 million total on anti-union consulting in 2022. Of that, $160,595 went to Optimal Employee Relations and Action Resources, who, on their own reports, specifically referred to “drivers” as the target group of their persuasion. Amazon and the contractors it hired are required to file these reports with the government each year."

If you’re angry about the current struggles of American #LaborUnions, in their fight against endless legalized corporate sabotage by the perpetrators, then YOU MUST KNOW what the global gig economy corporate cabal, led by DoorDash is up to: fraud, labor laundering and appslavery.

It’s hotter inside the store than outside. Customers are complaining. In fact I’m sitting in the sun to cool down as I type this. And this note has been left from management #AntiWork #WorkReform #socialism #WorkersRights #LaborUnions

#USA #DoorDash #GigEconomy #AntiUnion #LaborUnions: "DoorDash Inc. illegally prohibited office employees from discussing working conditions and fired one because of their organizing efforts, US labor board prosecutors alleged.

The food delivery company threatened to punish staff in Arizona if they took collective action and told them it was illegal to discuss worker conditions on their days off, a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board wrote in a complaint filed on behalf of the agency’s general counsel. DoorDash also engaged in illegal interrogations and surveillance of employees’ workplace activism, according to the complaint, and terminated an employee because they formed an organization, the Service Desk Analysts group, to address working conditions there."

"The legacy media companies have these broadcast and cable networks, the streamers aren't quite encumbered, and even within the streaming world, they all make money in different ways, and these services mean something different to their ecosystems."

Something very important is happening right now, and we should all care.

LB: Always important to remember your labor history. It’s been within living memory that we’ve had any kind of labor protections at all, and they are constantly trying to take them away from us. We have to stand together always, all of us. Queer rights, women’s rights, disability rights, they’re all the same fight as labor rights too, just with specific nuances. Stand together or fall separately. #Unions #LaborUnions #UnionStrong

Not sure if I mentioned this in my intro or my bio so I'll say it here:

If the workers go on strike, I will support them every👏🏽 time👏🏽.

If my packages arrive late, they arrive late. If my favorite show gets delayed, it's delayed. Services slow down, manufacturing shuts down, trains planes and automobiles cutting off, no strawberries at the supermarket, don't care.

The workers come first!

I love a good story and I'm addicted to learning. I'll boost anything that fits the bill and try to participate, even if I get a little bit of social anxiety. Let me drop some hashtags to let you know what I'm interested in:
