I met a friend of mine because they DMed me asking about their job. They were quitting soon, but they knew their coworkers couldn’t quit. They were experiencing labor abuse and wage theft. “Before I quit,” they asked, “how can I help my coworkers?”
They read up on their state laws about last paychecks. They talked to their local wage and hour agency for advice. They gathered screenshots and emails and other documents.

They talked privately to their coworkers to get their contact info. Then, they quit. (Because they could)
Their boss didn’t even do the last paycheck stuff right, so it will add to their claim. Then they filed a wage and hour complaint. Their local agency had already given advice, and they opened an investigation. It makes a difference, it really does.

Even if you’re quitting

Wage theft is the most expensive crime in the USA. Fifteeen BILLION dollars are stolen from American workers per year. What is wage theft, and why is this still happening? 1/ A photoshop illustration of an orange cat and a tortoiseshel
Wage theft is when workers aren’t paid the full amount they are owed. For example if you aren’t paid for the full time you work when you have to come early, wait around, or stay late. It’s STEALING from you

You also hear about “effective minimum wage” in this context. That means the “effective” wage paid doesn’t meet the legal minimum. Maybe for reasons like working late, or other reasons like a “piece rate” that doesn’t actually add up to minimum wage. nfwm.org/farm-workers/f…

Remember HR’s job is to protect the boss
A worker in the HR department could be your friend, but the HR department isn’t your friend.

Ask any worker in an HR department with a bad boss
HR means Human Resources. Not like resources for you, the worker. That means it’s their job to manage the company’s Human Resources. Workers are the asset.

For HR, your humanity is literally the resource

It’s so exciting that so many workers are asking about how to form a union where you work! Jean helped me make a thread of basic advice that applies to most workers in the USA A graphic illustration with a tortoiseshell cat. Next the th
For most workers there are 4 basic steps.

1. Talk to your co-workers who already agree with you. (NOT your boss obviously!)

2. Get advice by googling where you live + type of job + union, and ask the union local near you for advice. Most websites have a contact listed for this!
3. Once you have a strategy, you and the coworkers who already agree can start talking to more and more co-workers to build support for your union.

4. Show that your team supports forming a union through election or card-check once you have a strong majority of workers on board
