NELP Action

@NELPaction is thrilled that @ZohranKMamdani has nominated @saalevine to lead @helloDCWP. We look forward to working with him and the agency to advance a #GoodJobsEconomy for working New Yorkers!

Outstanding nomination of @saalevine to join @JulieSuLabor on @ZohranKMamdani's economic justice dream team fighting for NY workers and consumers FTC alum tapped to lead Department of Consumer and Worker Protection ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

5/5 But these important wins are just the start. @NelpNews' New York City Worker Justice Agenda details more ways that the new mayor and city council can build a good jobs economy and a city where working families can survive and thrive. nelp.org/insights-resea…

4/5 And construction workers at @local79nyc won passage of the Construction Justice Act guaranteeing a living wage and job opportunities for low-income New Yorkers on projects building the affordable housing the city needs cityandstateny.com/sponsors/spons…

3/5 Security guards & @32BJSEIU won a living wage and health benefits for these essential workers who keep our city safe – paving the way for future action to finally enact a New York City minimum wage seiu32bj.org/press-release/…

2/5 After a hard fought campaign against @uber & @doordash, @NYTWA & @LosDeliveristas won just cause protections against the unfair firings that plague the ride hail and delivery industries nelp.org/why-nyc-must-e…

1/5 With our partners, @NelpNews is thrilled to celebrate four major worker justice victories this week in the @NYCCouncil

How NYC's next mayor can raise the minimum wage without waiting for Albany -- @NELPaction's @paulsonn and @columbialaw's Dennis Fan explain

It’s simple: Colorado workers are asking @govofco @jaredpolis to side with us, not “with billionaires and corporations that benefit from our broken labor law system” That's why we might pass the Worker Protection Act. newsweek.com/democrats-cant… via @newsweek @NELPaction @RBReich

2/2 Why are @GovofCO & @GovWhitmer siding with big corporations to keep in place anti-union legislation & a low minimum wage for tipped workers? #COpolitics #COgov #MIgov

1/2 Democrats can't win back workers by siding with corporations | @PaulSonn in @Newsweek newsweek.com/democrats-cant…

As the federal government recedes from protecting working people, state leaders will need to be bold and creative in filling the void. My new piece with @TerriGerstein in @Newsweek newsweek.com/trump-20-will-…

Shame on @MISenDems for trying to weaken #minimumwages for tipped workers & #paidleaveforall protections. @GovWhitmer must veto this travesty. michiganadvance.com/2025/01/08/mic…

@NelpNews celebrates with @garlin, @keithellison, @onefairwage, @PplsAction, & @popdemoc landmark @MISupremeCourt ruling raising minimum wage for all workers & guaranteeing paid sick days

80% of #voters want a higher #MinimumWage, & 70% want to pass the #PROAct. But most of the states & #Congress refuse to act. #Gerrymandering & the filibuster deserve a lot of the blame. @paulsonn explains why #WorkersRights are critical to fix #democracy: otherwords.org/to-secure-work…

.@realDonaldTrump's no-tax-on-overtime is another half-baked election-year gimmick. @EmilyRPeck at @axios explains why.

NEW 🚨 : Trump's Project 2025 would strip at least 8 million workers of federal overtime protections Check out our breakdown by state and demographics of the millions that would be working more for less: epiaction.org/2024/09/09/pro…

ICYMI - last week's ruling by an activist Trump-appointed judge blocking the @FTC's ban on "non-compete" clauses that lock workers into jobs means states must act to protect workers

5/5 And his Labor Department issued a rule allowing workers to be paid the $2.13 sub-minimum wage even when they are not receiving any tips at all -- robbing tipped workers of $700m each year. epi.org/press/trump-ad…

4/5 Trump opposed increasing the $7.25 federal minimum wage and the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers -- which has been frozen at just $2.13 an hr since Bill Clinton was president. latimes.com/business/hiltz…

🧵1/5 @realDonaldTrump says he'll help tipped workers with no-tax-on-tips. But his real record was trying to help corporations steal workers' tips and blocking badly needed raises for restaurant workers. Get the facts here. @onefairwage @AFLCIO @SEIU @WorkingAmerica nytimes.com/2024/08/08/us/…
