The New York for All Act would establish baseline protections by prohibiting state + local law enforcement and agencies from collaborating with ICE, incl. ending harmful 287(g) agreements. @governor.ny.gov prioritize #NY4All as the very first order of business when legislators return to Albany.

Worker Justice Center supports the Jimenez family in their fight to bring Omar home.

Join in for this protest today if you are able! Omar has lived in the U.S. for over 2 decades. He's a father, a business owner, and a proud Rochesterian. Let ICE know that they are trying to take away a valuable community member!

In October, the U.S. Department of Labor reduced the wages of workers who hold H-2A visas. Base wage rate for H-2A workers will drop by around $5 per hour under the new rule. Cuts of that magnitude put an already economically disadvantaged population in even more financial hardship.

NYS DOL has guidelines for how to handle extreme temperatures, but no legal protections. WJCNY supports NY Senate Bill S3412, which provides regulation of indoor and outdoor worksites with temperature protection standards, to ensure that employers provide safe conditions for employees.

A federal judge on Friday barred the IRS from sharing tax return information that immigration officials aimed to use to deport undocumented immigrants, saying the practice violated a taxpayer confidentiality law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Our loss of OVC funding puts our Human Trafficking program in jeopardy. It means fewer human trafficking victims will receive "U" or "T" visas to help them remain in the US while they assist law enforcement with their cases.

Thanks to all who joined the Pay Equity Coalition for yesterday's webinar & rally in Rochester. Latina Equal Pay Day marks how far into the year Latinas must work to earn what white, non-Hispanic men made the year before. #EqualPay https://ow.ly/ubZG50X9s0I

The federal government is officially shut down, but this administration’s effort to scapegoat immigrants and proceed with their mass deportation crusade continues – despite the real facts and the demonstrated harm to the nation. americasvoice.org/press_releas...

Most apple harvesters in upstate NY work from ladders. But a few farms use machine-drawn platforms like this. Workers must pick at the machines' faster pace. If they fall behind, they can get written up. Some machines have cameras to monitor workers' productivity. #WeFeedYou

Groceries costing more? It’s not just inflation. "You can blame the admin's chaotic and destructive policies for the pain in your wallet," writes @tusk81.bsky.social These mass deportation raids are gutting the farmworker workforce, leaving crops unharvested, and prices soaring.

There's a narrative that U.S.-born-laborers don't take ag jobs because they're too spoiled for hard work. The truth is that Americans don't take those jobs because they're exploitative, underpaid, dangerous, and exempt from protections like overtime pay and workers comp.

We are outraged by the recent raid in Cato, NY. Shame on the Cayuga & Oswego county sheriffs for collaborating with ICE to tear families apart and wreak havoc on their own communities. We need #NY4All to end this disgraceful use of our tax dollars. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/09...

In 2015, after years of organizing✊🏽, home care #workers won federal #MinimumWage💵 & #overtime protections. Now the #TrumpAdministration wants to roll them back through rule changes⚠️

H-2A workers are experiencing the same labor abuses as other low-wage workers, but quitting their job means they'll be deported and unable to provide for their families.

"'The notion that the federal government would use these operations for surveillance is entirely new territory.' The affected contractors include faith-based groups & nonprofits such as the Salvation Army & the Red Cross, which states usually rely on to set up shelters & deliver basic assistance."

⚠️🔥 Food Workers are HOT and it's only getting hotter! But in the U.S. and Canada there are NO federal laws to protect workers from #ExtremeHeat. With little hope for an OSHA standard at this point (certainly not a strong one), we must support workers organizing!
