#wage theft
Things are heating up in the @.prosecutorsoffice.gov email chains
I do not have entirely too much time on my hands and the implication that I do or that I am committing wage theft by making this at work is hurtful and you should stop
Bah, Humbug! Behind every billionaire hoarding wealth are underpaid and exploited workers. Let’s explore some issues of workers past, present and future.
☕ In 2021, when workers at three separate Starbucks locations in and around Buffalo NY, started organizing to unionize, company executives swooped in with anti-union efforts. Workers are fighting for higher wages as Starbucks claims record profits in 2021.
In 2019, Amazon withheld a third of its driver’s tips before being ordered to pay the $61.4 million back in a federal lawsuit. Warehouse workers across the country have also experienced grueling working conditions that include: too few bathroom breaks, excessive productivity goals, & unsafe working conditions. Amazon saw record profits in 2021.
In 2018, McDonald’s workers walked off the job for what would be the first of many multi-state strikes to demand an end to the rampant sexual harassment in their restaurants. Despite McDonald’s promises, they have failed to adequately address continued sexual violence at their stores. McDonald’s saw record profits in 2021.
