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!

"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 yesterday’s NYS Senate hearing, NCLEJ’s Carmela Huang provided legal analysis of the #SWEATAct’s due process protections and similar bills in other states. NCLEJ is recognized as a national expert on due process rights and strongly supports the passage of the SWEAT Act.

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.

As they are written now, labor laws do NOT work if workers cannot enforce them. The SWEAT Act will make it easier for workers to recover wages from wage theft cases. NELP urges the NYS legislature to pass the SWEAT Act Now! #EndWageTheft #PassSWEATNow
Flushing Workers Center retweeted
Following today’s SWEAT Act hearing, NELP urges the Labor Committee to #PassSWEATNow, move it to the Senate Floor, and calls for the Assembly Labor Committee to do the same. #EndWageTheft

Joining @NYSenatorRamos and @bradhoylman hearing on wage theft.
“The SWEAT bill is about giving workers the necessary tools to fight wage theft. This is about demoralizing the wage theft in our communities” - @workersjusticep
We didn’t raise the minimum wage just so bad bosses can keep wages from workers.
Today, Sen. @bradhoylman & I are co-chairing a marathon hearing on the scale of New York’s wage theft problem.
Tune in at nysenate.gov at 10AM

Pass the SWEAT ACT (A46/S1977) to fight rampant wage theft in New York! Give workers the necessary tools to collect their stolen wages.
HAPPENING NOW: Watch the Joint NYS Senate hearing on the bill, bit.ly/3q7lelk

Wage theft is rampant in New York. Around $1 billion of wages are stolen from hard working New Yorkers each year. We must pass the SWEAT Act to give workers the necessary tools to fight against wage theft and to collect their stolen wages. #wagetheft #workersrights
