Beyond creating a council to set workplace regs, California’s #AB257 would make fast food corporations liable for wage theft and other violations in franchises. That would be a first-in-the-nation move on an unsettled question in American labor law: calmatters.org/california-di…

California's fast food bill could link chains to wage theft and other workplace violations

Some say California's fast food bill could curb wage theft for workers. But others say consumers will end up paying more.

Just a reminder that credit scores are stupid and fake and the credit score system we have today was created in 1989

Pretty grateful for that story the Little Engine that Could because all week in my bead I’ve been like “I think I can I think I can” (make it to Friday). Really wow the power of positive thinking!
about to rep a client in a hearing who 1) lost her job, 2) submitted a covid declaration, 3) applied for rental assistance (which will pay back LL 100%) and she is STILL at risk of being evicted if the judge decides she wasn't acting as a "reasonably prudent person"

FYI it went well, but we shouldn’t have to put anyone through this much stress to preserve the roof over their kids heads

it's so maddening that landlords (who stand to get paid back 100% of what they are owed by rental assistance!!!) would rather refuse money and instead evict whole families. it's almost like market forces aren't logical or something!?!

Temple librarian Latanya Jenkins often had to choose between her health and her work because of Temple’s sick leave policy, her friends and coworkers told me. She died of cancer in April. inquirer.com/news/temple-uni…

After a Temple librarian died, coworkers said the sick-leave policy ‘ran her into the ground’

Temple library workers say the university's sick-leave policy causes employees to go to work sick and in pain, including Latanya Jenkins, who died of cancer in April.

It is important that you know evictions are still happening. Evictions have BEEN happening in the months since the federal moratorium was first enacted in September 2020. Many local judges *never* shut down eviction court. Over 150 scheduled in Jackson County, MO tomorrow.

psstt... local court judges and trial courts have been ignoring the CDC "moratorium" for months now and evicting people anyway...

We asked people from around the world to compare their health care system with the American system. “Skin to skin after a C-section is $39,” says a woman in Japan, reading from a U.S. medical bill. “You need to pay money to hold a baby?” nyti.ms/3sUd7nL

Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh just voted to reinstate life without parole for children, but this man was CONFIRMED as a Supreme Court justice largely based on conservatives excusing him for his “youthful errors” and “youthful mistakes.” Absolutely ridiculous.

The Nancy video is weirdly worse than I thought it would be
Kelsey D. Atherton@AthertonKD20 Apr 2021
The language Pelosi used is reminiscent of that adopted for the obituaries of civil rights martyrs, framing it as knowingly risked sacrifice with political aim. She fundamentally misunderstands how Floyd's murder was violence police chose to inflict on him during his daily life.

Don’t forget we could have done this all along folks!!!!!!!!

Thread: This is an important video to watch and absorb. Watch how cops put metal chains on his body and take him away to a cage for not having a "license" for his bicycle. Never forget: only 4% of all police budgets are used for what police call "violent crime."
