In New York City, if you break our worker protection laws and shortchange your workers, we will make you pay back what you owe.
Yesterday, we recovered $2.3M for 1,600 workers from Walgreens, Calzedonia, and Kinship Coffee. Since January, we have recovered more than $10 million for New York City workers. Because our City is not a billionaire's playground.
New Yorkers have the right to a regular schedule and protected time off. If your employer violates our laws, file a complaint at https://t.co/X102ohVroD and we will fight to put money back in your pocket.

Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!
a hard pill to swallow (but a good one) is sometimes we didn't hold as much weight in someone's life as we thought & it's completely okay. someone's inability to appreciate you doesn't decrease your value in any way, shape, or form.
I want the kind of relationship where no matter how hard things get, we sit down, communicate, and figure it out together instead of giving up on each other
