Not only are we losing domestic and agricultural workers due to Florida's anti-immigrant law, but we're also losing them due to meager wages & unsafe conditions. The implications for South Florida will be devastating. Give @FloridaPolicy a follow for the facts! #flapol
Florida's 112,000+ domestic workers face meager wages, unsafe & unstable working conditions, scant benefits, & lack of protections afforded to other working people. It's long past time to right these wrongs. @SocialPsychA #sayfie Learn more 👇👇👇 floridapolicy.org/posts/a-bi…

Minnesota may be on the verge of a huge blow to corporate tax avoiders. But corporate lobbyists are now out in force trying to derail these important reforms. @gardmaf explains what's happening.

Without international migrants moving to WV, our population loss would be even worse. Our much touted positive net migration was largely due to international migrants.

New report: In an employer survey, nearly half said workplace accommodations they made for people with disabilities cost nothing. For those with one-time costs, the median = $300. Benefits included retaining valuable employees, improving productivity askjan.org/topics/costs.cfm

POLICY MATTERS: Families hear about $7,500 for private school education, and they envision the doors of Heritage Hall or Holland Hall swinging wide open for their children. But, buyer beware. That tax credit falls short of their tuition by about $15,000. bit.ly/44PiOYr

Child labor violations are way up in Kentucky, & 14 states have recently introduced legislation weakening child labor protections. Instead KY should strengthen these laws & do more to help all kids get the childhood they deserve. New analysis here: kypolicy.org/kentucky-child-…

A new conference report making it harder for hungry Kansans to receive the food assistance they need is headed to the floor. 1 in 10 Kansans are going hungry today. Instead of helping, this bill does the opposite. #ksleg should reject the CCR on HB 2094 and vote NO

@BellPolicy's latest installment in our In the Know series is on Colorado school finance. It's the single largest general fund expense -- and it has been funded at $10 billion less than constitutionally required over the last 12 years. #coleg #copolitics bit.ly/3TXipOy

Workers who are in a union make about 10% more than similar workers who are not in unions, and they have better working conditions and benefits, says EPI's @hshierholz during House Committee on Education & the Workforce hearing. youtube.com/watch?v=PXzwKajh…

Best of luck, Amy! We'll miss you!
We are so sad to see Amy leave the Institute. The passion Amy has for helping others is so evident in everything she does. We wish her the best at Covering Kids & Families of Indiana as the Director of Public Policy and Communications.

On today's menu, @BernieSanders is serving @HowardSchultz a steaming hot cup of accountability. The former @Starbucks CEO is testifying before the @HELPCmteDems to finally answer the claims he was involved in illegal union busting at the coffee giant.
LIVE: No company is above the law. The HELP Committee is holding a hearing NOW on the need to end illegal union busting at Starbucks. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1ynJOaoYX…
