“We need every tool in the toolbox to protect Clevelanders!”

Thanks to Councilwoman @rebecca__maurer and @CleCityCouncil for this great video breaking down the wage theft ordinance that was passed last night.

Have you been a victim of wage theft? Contact @neoworkercenter!

[CleCityCouncil @CleCityCouncil]

Council passed a new law (Ord. 892-2022) supporting workers' rights by preventing companies guilty of wage theft or payroll fraud from doing business w/the @cityofcleveland. Councilwoman @rebecca__maurer explains the law and its impact on Clevelanders in this video.

[Guardians for Fair Work @FairWorkCLE]

“Council amended the city’s “Fair Employment Wage” law to set the required rate at $15.33 an hour and include yearly adjustments to keep pace with inflation.”

👏👏👏👏

Longtime Cleveland Court Clerk Earle B. Turner snagged an endorsement from @CuyahogaDems, which almost ensures him an easy re-election. He faces two challengers.

Details on that and more in #WeeklyChatter👇 the weekly news tidbits compiled by @marknaymik.

“Those wage theft victims in Ohio are over 60% women and disproportionately workers of color. Latino and latina workers are most heavily affected with an average annual wage loss of almost $5,000,” said @ahnbrand

Thanks for the coverage @ClevelandScene

"Bosses be warned, Cuyahoga County has strengthened bans on wage theft and payroll fraud."

https://t.co/UqibqsdxWl

[Guardians for Fair Work @FairWorkCLE]

“It will strengthen Cuyahoga County’s economy to be known as a community where workers can rely on receiving their wages that they properly earned,” Miller said.

Thanks @Ideastream!

[Gabriel Kramer @GabrielKKramer]

The ordinance will prevent the county from entering into contracts with companies with a history of wage theft.

It is designed to discourage businesses from engaging in wage theft — paying less than minimum wage, not paying overtime wages, etc.

“In a political moment plagued by distractions, this kind of bread-and-butter economic focus is needed and could be a preview of more pro-worker policies to come down the road. Because ultimately, to build a … strong region, policymakers’ focus must be in support of workers.”

[Justin Strekal @justinstrekal]

"[Cuyahoga] elected county officials are taking action to protect workers and ensure that all residents receive their full pay, moves critical to building a stronger and more prosperous region."
