“My friends, it is solidarity of labor we want. We do not want to find fault with each other, but to solidify our forces and say to each other: We must be together; our masters are joined together and we must do the same thing.” -Mother Jones (1988) #1u #UnionStrong

[New York State Legislative Workers United @NYSLWU]

There are staffers among us who make $32k/year serving the people of New York. The marathon budget & earlier special session have built up overtime hours that are never going to be paid out. This time, words of thanks are not enough. Our statement on Thursday’s special session ⤵️

[SEIU @SEIU]

This is wage theft! While this might seem like an isolated issue for just @DoorDash drivers, wage theft is the LARGEST form of theft in America. We shouldn’t have to worry about whether our employers are stealing from us. No wonder app drivers like those at @Uber and @lyft are demanding and winning their union!

Farm workers are the backbone of our food system, making sure we have meals on our tables this holiday season and every day. They are owed fair wages, protections, and respect! #1U

We need a #LaborStrong Mayor for NYC!! @jessicaramosqns #VamosRamos

[Harper Freeman @harpfreee]

INBOX: Teamster locals @804_local (UPS workers) and 808 (Metro North + building service workers) endorse @jessicaramosqns for NYC Mayor.

[LizaMinnelliOutlives @LiZaOutlives]

Liza Minnelli has outlived the political career of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He has been indicted on federal criminal charges.

Proud to have served under Ramos at the State Senate - I can’t wait to door knock for her next!!! #VamosRamos

[Jessica Ramos @jessicaramosqns]

For the past 6 years as a State Senator, I’ve been in the trenches fighting for our city.

Together, we’ve taken on the toughest battles and won. Now, we’re taking that fight to City Hall.

In our city, there’s a place for everyone.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Uber has been ripping off drivers in NYC — now drivers are striking back.

Rideshare workers marched on City Hall to demand that Uber stop locking them out of the app mid-shift.

Drivers are fighting the illegal practice that Eric Adams has essentially endorsed.

[Terri Gerstein @TerriGerstein]

If an employer commits serious, unresolved #WageTheft, should they be able to get government contracts? Seems obvious that the answer is NO. I wrote an op-ed in @NYDailyNews w/ concrete suggestions on how to operationalize this. Article gifted. (1/2)

[LizaMinnelliOutlives @LiZaOutlives]

Liza Minnelli has outlived Joe Biden's race for re-election. After weeks of pressure from fellow Democrats, he is stepping down as the party's nominee for President.

[Astrid M. Aune @AstridMAune]

All the more reason for NY and other states to pass their own extreme temperature protections.

We can’t just wring our hands at a court that has lost credibility. We have to pick up the fight and use all avenues to protect working people.

[NY Senator Jessica Ramos @NYSenatorRamos]

And just like that, the 2024 Legislative Session is officially over! #TeamRamos is sending 14 bills to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law and passed 16 more in the Senate!

🎉The Warehouse Worker Injury Reduction Act passed the NYS Senate!!

This bill is critical to #ProtectWarehouseWorkers and end the injury crisis happening in warehouses across the state.

TY @jessicaramosqns for championing this bill. Now onto the Assembly! 👋@CarlHeastie

[Terri Gerstein @TerriGerstein]

A 16-year-old doing construction work was killed this week. The developer said it contracts out the concrete work and “does not know who employed the teen.” We need upchain liability to fight #ChildLabor. https://t.co/YujQgf9T2y

[Sam Walsh @sam_walshie]

Pass the #TEMPAct! 🤠

[NYCOSH @NYCOSH]

The #TEMPAct would save lives, and impact 1.7 million NYS workers including those in:

🧺Agriculture
🏗️Construction
🌳Landscaping
🚗Car wash services
🚚Commercial shipping
🍔Food service

Workers deserve to come home safe and healthy after a day's work.

Proud today, and everyday, to be on #TeamRamos. @jessicaramosqns

Thank you @NoahShachtman, for spending time #SeenIn13. Read the story in @NYmag: https://t.co/w3PJONbJss

[Sam Walsh @sam_walshie]

@AstridMAune @CUNYLawReview So proud!

[NYCOSH @NYCOSH]

The #TEMPAct - one of the most comprehensive bills in the nation that regulates extreme temperatures, has been on our legislative agenda for some time

Now, it's on the agenda of the Labor Committees in NYS Senate & NYS Assembly

Stay tuned tmw to see if the bill moves

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[NYCOSH @NYCOSH]

Does excessive heat raise the risk of work-related injuries?

The higher outdoor temperatures climb, the more likely it is that a worker will be injured, according to a recent study from the Workers Compensation Research Institute.

[ALIGN @ALIGNny]

Calling all worker safety champions to visit @ALIGNny & @amazonteamsters by Capitol security and Unbox Your Mis-Fortune!

See what it’s like to be a NY warehouse worker, where 1 in 11 workers are injured every year.

It’s time to #ProtectWarehouseWorkers.
