• HELP ADJUNCTS SURVIVE
    Adjunct faculty make up a vital component of Union County College’s teaching staff, and should be compensated fairly and treated with respect for their tireless efforts on behalf of the students and the college. Adjunct faculty should—like all workers—be paid a living wage and be allowed to teach the maximum teaching load allowed under the Affordable Care Act.

  • Joni: Can you live on $77 a week?
    Many Iowans work for minimum wage and that includes many of my friends and acquaintances. I'll bet many of the people you know are trying to feed their children, pay the rent and utilities on minimum wage jobs.

  • Non Compete Agreements
    I have been terminated in a right to work state. Which means they don't have to give you any reasons why they terminated your employment. What was the most disturbing is when I was forced to sign a severance pay package that keeps me from working for other companies that are in the same market. Then when I signed it went from 6 months to 2 years. Who can fight these companies? I sure can't take them on and no lawyer has stepped up to help without wanting more than $15,000.00 . This is so unfair; now I may have to move into a new state just to work in my field.

  • Joni Ernst to take the Minimum Wage Challenge
    Because the wage is too low, and she believes that it is okay. I have lived off of this and cannot get by. People are homeless because of the wage, and it needs to increase. Only she believes it is too high. We cannot have someone in power like this!!!!!!!!

  • Stagging 2nd interview working a few hours for free
    Yes I did it with one company worked for 3 and half hours doing their lunch rush, this is a kinda well know restaurant. They put me on the line I didn't get a chance to even look at the menu. I found a 2 restaurant that told me the same thing, I'm not going to waste bus fare and my time to clean their space. This job want me to start after 2pm the lunch rush is over so I guess they start cleaning. So I guess the manager think that I'm going to clean while the paid employees take it easy that day, I don't think so. I think he want to see if he like working with me.

  • Jimmy John's! Clean Up Your Act! #Stores #Wages #Workers
    For years now we, the Undersigned, have heard it told and had it said that Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shoppe is the BEST place in the country to work. Fast food. Fast friendly customer service, in a clean comfortable environment. And maybe, in the early going, the Company was that at one time BUT, not any longer! Now Jimmy John's is a company and a restaurant franchise chain fraught with lies, deceit, stagnation and inflation and all is at the expense of both the employees who work there and the customers who still eat their sandwiches. This has to STOP! That is why we call upon Jimmy John's CEO & Founder James Jonathan Liautaud to Clean Up His Act! Clean Up His Stores! Clean Up His Stagnation! And stop the deflation and degradation of the wages of his employees. This Labor Day 2014 Mr. Liautaud do something worthy of the term Labor by coming to the table with your workers and getting to the business of Cleaning Up Your Act! Quit balancing your company's bottom line on the backs of your employees and your customers. The overall quality is way down while the costs have gone way up, and that's no way to do business sir, respectfully. Thank you! Happy Labor Day 2014.

  • Stop "On-Call" & Weekly Scheduling
    On-call scheduling is now used by many retailers, and it is unfair and treats retail workers as commodities rather than human beings. If you are only able to get 15 - 20 hours at one retailer then you have to get a second job to break even and fill in the gaps that food stamps and housing grants don't pay. That is impossible the way that retailers use on-call scheduling.
