Louisiana House Labor committee hears heated debate on two minimum-wage bills; one moves forward, another fails After more than an hour of testimony and public comment, the committee reported Representative Phelps's minimum-wage measure and rejected a separate bill by Representative Boyd. Proponents framed the change as a poverty remedy; businesses warned of cost and hiring impacts.

I think about “This Land is Your Land” a lot, and I wish more people did the same.

Long Beach is paving the way for home chefs to turn their kitchens into businesses by removing the landlord sign-off requirement for permits!

$600M warehouse fire in California tied to anger over low pay/corporate greed is a warning sign. When people feel unheard and unsupported, things can escalate. Governments must do right by their people—or we may see more instances like this. #WorkersRights #EconomicJustice #CaliforniaWarehouseFire
