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-...

Dan Goldman thinks that over 150 years of inherited generational wealth is being a “beneficiary of the American Dream” … and that’s a reason to vote FOR him. 😵😵😵

Also, it's a real coward's move not to link to the post, which proceeds to explain *why* and *in what way* it represents a cautionary tale! Here's the post, so you can judge: lpeproject.org/blog/why-we-...

Matt Bodie@matthewtbodie.bsky.social · last yr.

I held out hope for Matt Y longer than most because of his support for codetermination and other economic reforms, but this lazy, engagement-driven dismissal of LPE and blind support for all-things-Uber really points up my earlier error in perception.

This is bad enough coming from MAGA legislators. But in deep-blue DC, @murielbowser.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social are shockingly doing the same thing: rolling back badly needed voter-approved wage increases for tipped workers and slashing paid family leave

Bryce Covert@brycecovert.bsky.social · last yr.

Last year, Missouri voters approved paid sick leave and a higher minimum wage by 58%. Republicans just enacted legislation eliminating sick leave and automatic updates to the minimum wage that had been in place since 2006. www.kcur.org/politics-ele...

Still basking in the glow of Zohran's primary win? Me too! But please also take 1 minute to defend the closed primary system that helped make Z's win possible. Eric Adams' commission is trying to open primaries so that Republicans can vote in Dem primaries. Tell them NO. bit.ly/NoOpenPrimariesNYC 🧵

Why the hell are @murielbowser.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social blocking a badly needed wage increase for tipped workers? They're bought and paid for by the DC restaurant lobby and are a national embarrassment. www.nelp.org/mayor-bowser...

If D.C.'s leaders repeal the voter-approved law, D.C.'s minimum wage for tipped workers will fall to $5.95 an hour.
