AFTER 11 YEARS, 42,000 AMZN WAREHOUSE WORKERS won a $13.5 M multi-state lawsuit that will pay them for time spent in mandatory security checks, which were done to ensure they were not hiding merchandise in their clothing.

WMT’S COLLEGE TUITION PROGRAM IS A FARCE: “far more targeted & self-interested than the traditional tuition reimbursement programs, where you can get them from any university & study whatever you want.” Only 1/2 of 1% of workers have graduated.

32,000,000 AMERICAN WORKERS earn < $15/hour — including 6,000,000 tipped workers who earn a federal subminimum wage of just $2.13 an hour. Add your name to this One Fair Wage petition to Congress.
