• Show your support for Starbucks workers trying to unionize!
  Young workers, people of color, Starbucks workers from all walks of life are facing anti-worker harassment, corporate bullying, one-on-one meetings with executives like Schultz to intimidate them into giving up their unionization push. But workers are standing strong! And we’re showing our support for their bravery by demanding Starbucks STOP interfering with workers’ right to join a union.

• Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
  The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is a federal bill that would close loopholes for pregnant workers requesting reasonable workplace accommodations for their health and wellbeing, such as having a stool at their work station for short sitting breaks, access to a water bottle, or the option of asking a coworker to help lift heavy items.

• Paycheck Fairness Act
  The Paycheck Fairness Act would strengthen existing equal pay protections, prohibit retaliation against workers who discuss their pay with each other or challenge pay discrimination at work, limit employer’s reliance on a new hire’s prior salary to set their new pay (which allows pay discrimination to follow a person from job to job), and more. These robust measures would bring us one step closer to equal pay. Send an automated email to your Senators supporting this bill.
