Study: Fewer than 30% of workers in the US have paid sick leave protected by state law. Fewer than 60% of workers in service industries are offered paid sick leave, and fields such as food production, hospitality and retail rarely offer the benefit, leaving many employees vulnerable to lost wages.

Anyone need a reference….

Straight up dm me and put me down. I’ll give the best reference you could ever ask for. I’m a small business owner, and stand in solidarity with the workers rights movement. This is a free service. If you’re USA based and need a “former employer” to make you shine like a diamond hmu. You deserve better.

I’ll probably lose my job for this.

I didn't care. I made a decision in a slightly drunken state. I am a supervisor in a warehouse at a casino. We are treated very poorly. We see no raises and our benefits are very poor. The casinos are posting record profits. I decided to contact the unions. We love to work but we don't deserve what they are doing to us.

“Report on the Most Recent Survey of Morale”

We noticed participation has decreased, though whether due to layoffs or malaise we can’t be sure. While the survey is anonymous, if you filled the comment boxes with These questions suck or Stop wasting my time, we probably know who you are, especially if you mentioned your division, duties and job description, and even more so if you signed your name. We’re sorry you’re suffering, but we doubt work caused your divorce. We’re also dismayed by demands for better leadership. While you’re welcome to select Somewhat or Not at all in response to Do you find management effective?, we’d like you to imagine how that makes us feel. Perhaps it was insensitive to ask which of your coworkers are seeking other jobs, but we really need an estimate. If you left that question blank, it’s not too late to pass some names along. The news isn’t all bad. Even with…
