• Migrant Workers
    This petition is about Migrant Workers and their low pay. We have made this petition to help migrant workers get paid more adequate to what they do. Their jobs are grueling and time consuming. Their hours are much longer than what the average person works, with less than an 8th of what they get paid.

  • ESPN: No Layoffs!
    After taking millions in tax payer money from the state to create jobs, ESPN is now planning layoffs. More than 100 employees, and maybe as many as 400, are slated to be let go from their Bristol, CT headquarters. This is unacceptable. ESPN took our money to create jobs, they cannot turnaround and fire employees instead. Tell ESPN not to let any of its workers go!

  • OSHA: Require MSDS's to identify GMO's in the worplace.
    The existence of GMO foods is nearly universal in the workplace. Each and every individual strain of any gmo crop is an unknown potential toxin for which no long term studies have been conducted. Workers are not merely exposed, but actually consume, in massively greater than parts per million quantities, these unnatural compounds, whose safety is compellingly suspect by an ever growing body of concerned scientists. As a potential toxin, the Right to Know Act should apply to gmo's in the workplace and not enjoy any exemptions that might apply to natural foods from the actual Earth biology. Regardless, concerned workers have the right to know under the Act and food manufacturers must supply the requested MSDS's upon request.

  • Don't let Apple dodge billions of dollars in taxes!
    Apple is the country's most profitable technology company--yet it's hiding billions of dollars in offshore companies to avoid paying taxes. We've seen tax dodging before, but as one economist described it, Apple's complex scheme shows "unbelievable chutzpah." Apple wasn't satisfied with putting money in offshore tax havens with low rates--it created foreign subsidiaries that have no employees and are exempt from paying any taxes anywhere in the world. Between 2009 and 2012, one of Apple's foreign subsidiaries, which has not filed any tax return, had an income of $30 billion. Everyday people pay our taxes to fund things like good schools and safe communities--huge companies like Apple need to pay their fair share too. Sign our petition today.

  • MR. PRESIDENT: STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH COMPANIES THAT KEEP MILLIONS IN POVERTY
    This morning, I walked off my job, because what I make -- less than $10 an hour -- just isn't enough to pay my rent and support my family. I work for a U.S. government contractor at the National Air and Space Museum. There are many people like me -- they work at places we all love like Union Station. The National Gallery of Art. And while CEOs of government contractors are making millions, we’re paid so little that we can’t possibly make ends meet without public assistance. The federal government is by far the largest employer of poverty-wage jobs in the country, with its contract workers struggling to survive on minimum wage, or even less. CEOs make millions, while we, their employees, can’t make ends meet. I've seen what has happened in places like New York and Chicago when workers stand up together and demand a living wage. It needs to happen here in Washington D.C. too, where we are dealing with the same issues despite being in President Obama's backyard. We work for many of the same employers, and get the same poverty wages as these workers. But unlike them, our bosses operate under contract in federally owned buildings. The White House should take whatever means necessary, including executive orders, to lift millions out of poverty by ensuring that all federal agencies pay a living wage. We want to send a message that it’s time to stand up for working people and our communities.
