• COSTCO is supporting Koch companies
    I'm a single working mother on a very limited income. I like to shop at Costco because they treat their employees well, carry many organic products, and have good prices. However, I am very disturbed to find out that my money is supporting the Koch brothers through items such as Dixie cups and plates. I don't want a dime of my money to go to any company they own or in which they have stock options. Please help cut off the supply that feeds those greedy, prejudiced, corrupt brothers.

  • Sign and send the petition: Demand FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler hold public hearings on net neutrality
    In the past few weeks, an overwhelming number of comments have been filed at the FCC in favor of protecting an open internet and real net neutrality. Despite this, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has not scheduled large, public field hearings. Before Chairman Wheeler considers passing rules which could end net neutrality and open the door for pay-to-play lanes, he should face the American public by holding large, open public meetings across the country. In addition to voices from the grassroots, FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel has indicated her support for more public input. Rep. Mike Honda issued a letter inviting the Chairman to hold public meetings in Silicon Valley. Further, Senator Pat Leahy took matters into his own hands and plans to hold a public field hearing for constituents in Vermont on July 1. Join the voices calling for Wheeler to hold large, open public field hearings. Sign and send the petition to the FCC demanding the Chairman come out and face the public support for real net neutrality.

  • United Airlines: Respect New Jersey, Do Your Part to Provide Good Jobs at Newark Airport
    As one of the largest employers in New Jersey and the largest carrier at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), United can improve the lives of thousands of New Jersey-based airport workers. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) recently established minimum wage and benefit standards for subcontracted airport workers, including 4,000 EWR workers, and set a timetable for a more comprehensive policy package that ensures living wages and benefits, including health benefits. American Airlines and Delta agreed to honor the wage increases, but United Airlines and its subcontractors have not, leaving thousands of New Jersey airport workers in poverty. Newark is United's second largest hub in the world and subcontracted workers that make it possible for things to run smoothly there deserve better.

  • United Airlines Owes Reimbursement
    United forced passengers to remain on the tarmac for hours, unable to use the plane's clogged restrooms and with no food left, simply because they still hoped to make their scheduled stop in Denver. When passengers finally disembarked in Pueblo, United abandoned them without explanation. The Pueblo Police and Colorado State University were heroes who took up this task, providing food, transportation and lodging, and should be reimbursed.

  • LA City Council: Pass a Wage Theft Ordinance
    Simply put, Los Angeles is the “Wage Theft Capitol of the United States,” with approximately $26.2 million stolen from workers on a weekly basis ($1.4 billion annually) through minimum wage and overtime violations, off –the-clock work, meal and rest break violations, and illegal paycheck deductions. While wage theft primarily impacts low-wage workers, its negative effects touch every member of the city, whether it is through lost tax revenue, unfair competition for law-abiding businesses, decreased monetary infusion into the local economy, or increased public expenditures on health care. It is time to end LA’s reign as the Wage Theft Capitol, and it is time for City Council to take action to help workers collect the wages that are legally owed to them.

    We need to put a stop to this pattern, whereby our hard earned money is spend, not to make it easier to conduct our business, but to make it harder instead!
