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.

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
NYC used to be a leader in the minimum wage, but now we are falling behind and working families are suffering.
We can't wait for Albany to act. It's time our NYC leaders tackle the affordability crisis and #RaiseTheWage.

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.

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

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

Shame on @MISenDems for trying to weaken #minimumwages for tipped workers & #paidleaveforall protections. @GovWhitmer must veto this travesty.

@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-wor…

.@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:

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
"The judicial hijacking of the federal government's ability to protect the public poses a grave threat to U.S. #workers. More states need to act quickly to head it off," writes @paulsonn in an op-ed for @Newsweek: newsweek.com/states-must-act…
🧵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

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/hiltzik…
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-administ…
