“Wage theft is not taken seriously as a crime by this system,” says National Mobilization Against Sweatshops @NMASSwc.
“How are working people who are working so hard expected to survive if it’s OK to have their wages stolen?”

Thank you NYS Assembly Members @rontkim, @AndrewHevesi, @ZohranKMamdani, @marcelaforny, @EmilyAssembly, @AmandaSeptimo, @votejgr for letter to @NYSDOLCommish Reardon. @NYSLabor must enforce the law & stop home care & insurance companies from stealing home care workers' wages!
My @NYSA_Majority colleagues and I are calling on NYS DOL to follow the law and do their job in pursuing wage theft cases against home care workers.

Yesterday, workers protested @NYSDOLCommish Roberta Reardon, demanding she enforce the law!
Why is she colluding w/insurance companies & sweatshops to rob & abuse us?!
@GovKathyHochul must stop the corruption & support City Council's No More 24 Act to end NYC’s 24-hour workday!

Workers rights org @NMASSwc says filing a wage theft claim in New York is a "waste of time".
"I've seen so many workers file claims, and they’re told that they’re owed so much in back wages — and then nothing happens.”
Investigation with @propublica

"During my employment, I had to wash, dry and fold 80 pounds of clothing per hour. I worked 6 days a week and was paid only $10 per hour, without payment of overtime or meal break, a clear violation of the wage and hour law" –Sandra Mejia.@jessicaramos @FlushingWorkers @NMASSwc

At today's NYS Senate hearing, @aaldef's Bethany Li describes how Kum Gang San hid its assets to avoid paying $2.7 million judgment that we secured in wage theft case for Asian and Latino workers. The #SWEATAct is needed to hold employers responsible for labor law violations.

Pass the SWEAT ACT (A46/S1977) to fight rampant wage theft in New York! Give workers the necessary tools to collect their stolen wages.

🚫 every day that passes without the banning of the 24 hour rule is another day of regressive 'collective collusion between 1199-CPC and Adrian Adams against these homecare workers.

The insurance & home care industry are openly stealing a billion dollars a year from home care attendants by pushing 24 hour shifts and only paying 13 hours.
Split shifts cost insurance companies.
24 hour shifts cost providers bc they have to pay overtime.
This is the kind of systemic exploitation that comes with outsourcing care work. – at Queens, NY
Happy #MayDay2023 and the beginning of #APAHerititageMonth
Will you stand with Asian immigrant women workers to put an end to 24-hour work shifts?

Happy International workers day! Today we visited city hall to protest the inhumane 24 hour workday for home health care workers! Intro 175 is a bill I have signed onto which calls for a mandatory maximum 12 hour work day instead of 24! Let’s stand with our international workers today and fight for what’s right!
