Reminder: Black employees are paid a median $20,000 less per year right now than white employees at CFPB. This is absolutely unacceptable. Is @chopracfpb okay with that? His silence on this says that he is okay and is complicit with a racial pay gap at his own agency.
CFPB is breaking the law by not following its Congressional requirements when it comes to employee pay. The rules are literally written in the regulation that created the CFPB, and have never been followed. @chopracfpb has the choice to follow the law now. #PayUpCFPB
Instead of negotiating, CFPB management is refusing to meet at the bargaining table. What direction is @chopracfpb giving them? How does that show a partnership towards equity and fair pay?
Imagine if banks offered to settle discrimination claims with CFPB, but only if allowed to start discriminating again in the future, while refusing to share any data about whether disparities or discrimination still exist. That’s what CFPB mgmt says that they want to do on pay.
Thank you to the 200+ people who joined us in person and online for our Nov. 10 courtyard rally! We'll continue rallying until CFPB respects our remote work agreement and fixes our inequitable pay! https://t.co/FLWUBqdf3T
Under @ChopraCFPB our union had high hopes for pay negotiations that would finally fix the racist pay gaps & lack of comparable pay at CFPB.
Instead, Chopra's bargaining team proposed FREEZING pay for hundreds of workers, while leaving racist pay gaps to fester & grow #PayUpCFPB
@ChopraCFPB's Management team can keep propagating the lie that CFPB can't afford to pay its workers equitably & comparably. You can keep making excuses.
But workers see through the lies. We know what we deserve. And we're coming for it. #PayUpCFPB
Yesterday we received Management's 2nd offer, after weeks of stonewalling. Some Union bargaining team initial reactions:
"They are proposing NO changes to the pay bands at all now...it's WORSE than the first offer!"
"If this was a negotiation with an entity, I'd walk away."
We showed up in solidarity with workers organizing w/ @SBWorkersUnited today, as they prepare for their upcoming union election! CFPB Union members are energized & inspired by the wave of Starbucks workers organizing across the country #UnionYes
We’re hosting another Sip-In, this time at the 12th & Market Starbucks! Stop by from now until 2pm to meet fellow union supporters and offer workers some words of solidarity 💪🌟

Larry how about we try giving people money in a pandemic so they don’t starve to death / die homeless—I KNOW, SOUNDS CRAZY, STICK WITH ME!—then, if the economy “hits capacity” or “overheats” we’ll all work a 4-hour day, 4-day work week to let it cool off. Deal?
Will Biden's proposed stimulus package shift the debate towards doing more for those who have been left behind? The answer is Yes.
We are going to have to watch this economy very carefully. I do think conventional wisdom is underestimating the risks of hitting capacity.

Soon we will have a new administration who can replace our director. We’re looking for strong leadership, someone who is not afraid to put working people’s needs during the pandemic above the big banks’ profits. @Transition46 👇🏽
Let us clarify since @CFPBDirector is often confused by our mission: we need to do more to protect consumers & working people, not corporations & banks.
🛑STOP using this crisis as cover for more deregulation.
‼️START protecting people who can’t afford rent & groceries.
