Because we the lower income peoples Human Rights should be protected.

This law is a travesty and will only undermine Michigan's progress.

On Friday, Republicans in Madison announced they are planning to ram through an unfair and unnecessary right to work bill. This is another in a long line of attacks on Wisconsin working people. Right to work would be devastating for everyone in Wisconsin. Workers in states where right to work laws have been passed make $5,000 less and have less benefits than workers in states where right to work laws don’t exist. Six of the ten states with the highest unemployment have right to work laws in place. Also, the wage gap for women who live in right to work states is even higher than in non-right to work states. This divisive legislation would hurt all working families in Wisconsin. We need to act right now to stop this bill because Republicans are trying to fast track this bill by the end of the week using a legislative maneuver called an extraordinary session that changes the rules, limits debate and makes a mockery out of our democracy. Sign the petition to legislators in Madison to oppose this attack on the middle class.

“Just-in-time” scheduling, as it’s known, can wreak havoc on the lives of working people and their families. When shifts are scheduled with little advance notice and canceled at the last minute, it’s hard to imagine having any financial security. And when workers don’t have predictable schedules and are expected to work any time they’re called, it’s hard to make plans to take care of your family or find additional work, if necessary. State lawmakers in California have introduced Assembly Bill 357, the "Fair Scheduling Act" and we need them to act now to protect all California workers.

Mr. Matt Loeb IATSE President We, the undersigned, request that the International Alliance Of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) create a 24 hour live operator safety hotline to be used by all members of the Motion Picture and Television Industries. The IATSE Hotline would be able to connect with locals in the vicinity of the incident so that quick contact could be made with production, and if possible, a set visit can ensue. This would greatly aid workers in our quest for safer working conditions. Presently there are safety hotlines for certain unions, certain stages, and certain production companies. Some have live operators, some answering machines, and some allow you to page a safety representative. But none of them is perfect and no one number covers all instances for every worker. Furthermore, when calling a production company or a stage or lot there is the potential for a conflict of interest in dealing with the issues that often arise. A National Safety Hotline, under the guiding hand of the IATSE, would change all of that and more importantly would serve to unite all of the Locals in creating an atmosphere of cooperation and priorities when it comes to keeping workers safe. A National Safety Hotline would level the playing field for all workers regardless of station or pay scale and would empower Union members to be vigilant and speak up. What is most important to us is for everyone we work with - our friends, our colleagues, our families - to return home to their own families safely at the end of every day. Our unions were created to protect us, but we realize that the IATSE can do that best only when our voices are heard. Help us to help you make our unions stronger and our workplaces safer. Respectfully, The Brothers and Sisters of IATSE. Be Safe. Be Heard. Speak Up.

We support the efforts of the USW union to improve the wages and benefits as well as working conditions of the striking refinery workers. Jobs in refineries are dangerous and require a high level of skill. As we know from the BP disasters, mistakes can cause catastrophes for the surrounding communities and the environment. These workers deserve to be compensated well and treated fairly. Failure to bargain fairly in these negotiations will only reflect the Shell Oil Company's lack of regard for the workers and the communities in which their enterprises are located. We refuse to buy Shell products until the strike is settled.

In Gov. Bruce Rauner’s State of the State address, he laid out a platform that would strip the rights of Illinoisans and benefit the richest 1% of Americans, like himself. We need to make sure that our elected leaders put the rights of working people ahead of the wants of the richest 1%. Send a message to Gov. Rauner now.

Providence's bus monitors work hard to keep our kids safe every school day. But Mayor Elorza is considering replacing these dedicated professionals with outsourced, underpaid workers who may lack the experience, commitment, and training required to properly prioritize the lives of our students. The average Providence bus monitor earns less than $12.50/hour, yet their work is invaluable: Their jobs were created after the tragic accidental death of a student in 1985. There had been at least one fatal student death each year from 1979 until monitors were mandated -- and since then there hasn't been a single one while a monitor was on duty. Bus monitors are from the community and depend on this job to maintain their homes, afford health care, and send their children to school. We need to tell Mayor Elorza that he needs to do right by working families and Providence's children -- just like he promised in his campaign. Sign the petition telling him not to privatize Providence's bus monitors.

We don't want any more workers to die. That's why the United Steelworkers union is taking on the richest, most powerful industry in the world by fighting to secure a fair contract that will protect the health and safety of workers and communities. The oil industry's greed and bad-faith bargaining have stalled efforts to improve conditions in its workplaces. The industry has refused to address serious health and safety issues that have already killed thousands of workers over the years. We support the efforts of the USW union to improve the working conditions of the striking refinery workers. Jobs in refineries are dangerous and require a high level of skill. As we know from the BP disaster, mistakes can cause catastrophes for the surrounding communities and the environment. These workers deserve to be treated fairly. Failure to bargain fairly in these negotiations will only reflect the oil industry's lack of regard for the workers and the communities in which its enterprises are located.

This petition is not just for me or the hard workers of my local 249, but for all Missouri workers whom this bill will affect and make their lives less profitable and possibly dangerous on the job conditions.
