NYCC members stand with NYS assemblymember khaleel anderson holding signs “support us in the empire act now”. Anderson holds a large symbolic check showing how much the state could raise to help workers who are getting their wages stolen recover the money lost to such frauds by employers. And the state can also raise money to help cover its programs under this bill!

The #EmpireAct would help NY #EndWageTheft by employers, which is rampant and massive.

We rallied and lobbied in Albany today to pass it.

This is NYS Assemblymember Khaleel Anderson, who says it’s time to pass it. We agree!

State Senator Brisport stands with NYCC members with signs saying pass empire act now!

#PassEmPIRE #StopWageTheft
#ProtectYourPay

This week, our members traveled to Albany to call on legislators to pass the #EmPIREAct.

It would expand NY's enforcement capacity by creating a mechanism that allows workers + labor orgs to step into the shoes of the Labor Commissioner, to file claims for violations.

Let's pass it now!

As Trump & Musk upend federal labor law,
" @govkathyhochul.bsky.social and legislative leaders can include legal provisions in this year’s state budget that will expand enforcement of worker protections while adding over $100 million yearly in new funding for staff at the state DOL."
