NELP’s New York City #WorkerJustice Agenda offers a suite of recommendations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social can use to hit the ground running to deliver a #GoodJobsEconomy for #NYC #workers. Read it here: www.nelp.org/insights-res...

NELP wishes all #workers and their families a happy and healthy #NewYear! This #NewYearsDay and always, we’ll be championing worker-led movements that bring us closer to a #GoodJobsEconomy. What are you looking forward to fighting for in the new year?

We believe in a future where workers have access to better wages, robust benefits, and safe and healthy working conditions. Donate by 12/31 and help us fuel lasting change for workers. nelp.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEDZK...

For decades, private enforcement has played an important role in building out a #GoodJobsEconomy under the Fair Labor Standards Act and other workplace laws. Our brief stresses the need for private enforcement as part of a strong legal framework for #WorkersRights www.nelp.org/insights-res...

As #BigTech wields its political muscle to stifle regulation at the federal and state levels, #NewYork must act on behalf of #workers. It’s time for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & the New York City Council to ban surveillance price- and wage-setting. Learn why here: www.nelp.org/to-make-new-...

NELP wishes all #workers and their families a safe and restful holiday season. Despite a challenging year of relentless attacks on workers, our movements and communities continued to fight for good jobs with living wages and the protections – the foundation of a #GoodJobsEconomy.

Big Tech’s rollout of algorithmic surveillance tools have made app-based workers’ ability to afford to live #NewYorkCity even more precarious. Policymakers in #NYC can fight back against this latest instance of corporate greed by banning surveillance wage-setting: www.nelp.org/to-make-new-...

@NELPNews is thrilled that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has nominated @saalevine.bsky.social to lead @hellodcwp.bsky.social. We look forward to working with him and the agency to advance a #GoodJobsEconomy for working New Yorkers!

This administration has taken away legal immigration status, protections & work authorization from hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers. Our new FAQ with @nelp.org shares key information for workers who may lose, or who have recently lost, work authorization⤵️ www.nilc.org/resources/un...

The Trump administration is engaged in the largest campaign in modern U.S. history to take away legal status & work authorization from hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers across industries. But all workers, even w/o work authorization, have rights on the job. www.nelp.org/insights-res...

Last week, the Schedules That Work Act and Part Time Workers Bill of Rights – two pieces of federal legislation that would give employees more of a say in their work schedules and ensure part-time workers get the pay and benefits they deserve – were reintroduced in Congress.

NYC just announced a historic $28.9 million settlement to enforce the right to a #FairWorkweek. It’s time that workers across the country have access to #SchedulesThatWork. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n...#FairWorkweek

🧵With our partners, NELP is thrilled to celebrate four major worker justice victories this week in the New York City Council:

With federal progress stalled, NELP invested in our regional & state strategy to advance bold pro-worker policies. Donate now to help us secure more state-level wins for workers. nelp.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEDZK...

📢 “New York City needs to… ensure that no #worker loses their livelihood at the whims of an unaccountable robot boss. 🤖” @danocampo.bsky.social explains why the #NYCCouncil must pass legislation to protect app-based ridehail 🚗& delivery workers 🚴 from unfair firings. www.nelp.org/why-nyc-must...

In a letter to Congress last week, EPIC joined a coalition led by the National Employment Law Project @nelp.org in endorsing the Empowering App-Based Workers Act, a bill that would create transparency and fairness for workers, and accountability for tech companies. epic.org/epic-joins-c...

As affordability challenges grow, NELP welcomes 2026 wage increases that move us towards a #GoodJobsEconomy, rooted in living wages for all. Our #Raises2026 report breaks down wage floor increases state-by-state. www.nelp.org/insights-res...

It matters to workers who is President: @goodjobsfirst.org reports that 2025 has witnessed a dramatic drop in federal enforcement of wage and workplace safety regulations. goodjobsfirst.org/worker-prote...

Thanks to @jayapal.house.gov, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, and @norcross.house.gov, the Empowering App-Based Workers Act is now in the #USHouse.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ The bill would create pay transparency for app-based workers. 📞 Call your reps + tell them to listen to workers www.nelp.org/take-action/...

Big tech shouldn’t be able to weaponize your personal data to jack up consumer prices and low-ball worker pay for people who don’t have other options.

It’s #JobsDay – In November, the #unemployment rate rose to 4.6%. 7.8 million #workers were unemployed and 24% of these unemployed workers were out of work for 27 weeks or longer. Let’s look more closely at workers facing long term unemployment… 🧵 www.nelp.org/november-job...

“The bigger picture is that raising the #MinimumWage is just one piece of a much larger fight for a #GoodJobsEconomy rooted in living wages and good benefits for every working person,” wrote NELP's Yannet Lathrop to @yahoofinance.com: finance.yahoo.com/news/million...

Uber, Lyft, and other app-based corporations can take up to 70% of a ride’s cost for their own profit, leaving drivers with next to nothing. They’re ripping off employees and price-gouging consumers — all while raking in billions. I’m introducing a bill to fix this broken system.

“We need guardrails on corporations’ conduct - including limiting how these corporations use our data, so they can’t pay two workers different amounts, based on their personal data. Its time to hold corporations accountable and pass the Empowering App-Based Workers Act.” - NELP's Laura Padin

As an electrician, I knew who my boss was, knew my pay, and knew how decisions were made. Workers in the app-based economy, like Uber and DoorDash drivers, deserve the same transparency. That is why @jayapal.house.gov and I introduced the Empowering App-Based Workers Act.

“For decades now, we've seen corporations sell working people a myth about flexibility and independence. Corporations are using platforms to make workers compete each other against for jobs, drive down wages and working conditions – while charging customers more.” - NELP's Laura Padin

Workers deserve dignity and transparency. Yesterday at the Capitol, NELP's Laura Padin spoke fiercely about the reality of app-based work. The Empowering App-Based Workers Act finally brings sunlight, fairness, and limits on how much corporations take from each fare. Congress needs to pass it.

Thanks to @jayapal.house.gov and all the amazing app-based workers and advocates from across the country who gathered in DC for the launch of the Empowering App-Based Workers Act! We stand with app-based workers calling for transparency, accountability, and fair pay.

We’re at the U.S. Capitol 🏛️ for the introduction of the Empowering App-Based Workers Act in the #USHouse. Watch live ▶️ to hear from app-based workers, the bill’s sponsors, and NELP on why this bill is an important step in building a #GoodJobsEconomy 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpaG...

When the #TrumpAdministration laid off thousands of #FederalWorkers, we supported partners to launch the Federal Employees Legal Defense Network. Help us defend #workers from ongoing attacks in 2026 and beyond: nelp.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEDZK...

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Private enforcement of #WorkersRights violations is an important pathway for #workers to seek justice on the job. Our latest policy brief shows the important role private enforcement plays in creating a #GoodJobsEconomy with robust worker protections: www.nelp.org/insights-res...

When people lose their jobs, a host of different state laws can prevent them from being eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. One barrier is the labor dispute disqualification. Flannery O'Rourke @nelp.org explains why states should get rid of this roadblock: s27147.pcdn.co/insights-res...

“The move to reopen the [home care] companionship loophole was ‘a handout to big corporations,” Mimi Whittaker told @capitalandmain.bsky.social about the Trump administration’s attempt to roll back home care workers’ rights👩‍⚕️ capitalandmain.com/home-care-wo...

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.

I led the DOL's Wage and Hour Division when the homecare rule was affirmed and we implemented it for 2+million workers and the people they help. This article captures the cost of Trump's effort to take away those protections. capitalandmain.com/home-care-wo... @nelp.org @capitalandmain.bsky.social

Farm workers stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. Starbucks baristas have been fighting for a fair union contract for close to 4 years. Just like many farm workers, @sbworkersunited.org is fighting back against greedy union busting employers. #NoContractNoCoffee

The minimum wage for workers will increase in 19 states and 49 cities and counties next month, with the wage floor reaching $15 per hour in dozens of localities, a new report found. https://stateline.org/2025/12/03/dozens-of-cities-states-hiking-minimum-wages-in-2026-amid-federal-inaction/

1. Amazon has become a major force in how cities, counties & schools buy basic supplies. Our new report finds Amazon is using opaque pricing algorithms to drive up costs and eliminate transparency—while harming competition by pushing out better-performing independent suppliers.

A powerful study "documenting the life-saving impact of a comprehensive workplace heat standard" @drdavidmichaels.bsky.social @jbarab.bsky.social @nelp.org @nationalcosh.bsky.social OSHA must act now

🧵"An annual report from the National Employment Law Project, a nonprofit advocating for workers’ rights, found that 88 jurisdictions will raise their minimum wages by the end of 2026." Read more at @stateline.org: stateline.org/2025/12/03/d... #Raises2026

“For many of us, there is no out of office. Many of us might have the ability to take time off but it’s no vacation. It’s the invisible labor of a society that doesn’t value care or the people who provide it.” @dhuckelbridge.bsky.social @usatodayopinion.usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

It’s #JobsDay – data from back in September was just released. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. 119,000 jobs were added. Our analysis this month looks at how anti-immigrant policies contribute to slowing growth and job loss for U.S.-born workers. 🧵 www.nelp.org/september-jo...
