5. In Michigan, DC, and Portland, Maine, @onefairwage is fighting to end the subminimum wage for tipped workers, which still stands at just $2.13/hr. From there, they'll take the battle to even more states https://t.co/Nz02J8Cg5N

The Hulu drama is resonating partly because it shows workers demanding a better workplace, which is happening in the restaurant industry and beyond.

4. Nursing home workers in LA are organizing to improve working conditions and patient care: when workers don’t need to worry about how they’re going to put food on the table, they can better focus on the care they provide when on the clock @QualityCareC

3. Dollar Store workers in Louisiana are organizing against low pay and bad working conditions, including rodent infestations at some stores--in a region that is often known for being hostile toward worker organizing @StepUpLA #DSworkersunited

Mary Gundel loved managing a store in Tampa, Fla. But when she detailed its challenges on social media, the company — and fellow employees — took notice.

2. Nail salon workers in NY are fighting to create a similar council that would establish job quality standards in the industry. These largely immigrant women of color are among the lowest paid workers in the most expensive city in the US @NYHealthySalons

Manicurists are routinely underpaid and exploited, and endure ethnic bias and other abuse, The New York Times has found.

1. The first one is already a major victory! CA FAST Act establishes the first statewide sectoral council for fast food workers, potentially leading to a higher min wage for fast food workers in CA next year. @GavinNewsom signed it into law yesterday @SEIU

The restaurant industry lost its fight against a big labor bill recently signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Amazing @NewYorker profile of my dear friend Eddy Zheng. Immensely proud of everything @EddyNewBreath has done, and proud to be part of his story. I led a campaign for his release from prison+deportation for 10+ years. Now he's the leader we said he'd be. https://t.co/U35OQRiss4

Tuned in to @AspenInstitute Toward Universal Work-Related Benefits panel. @anmol kicked it off noting 40yr decline in Job Quality w/ need to re-imagine 'future' of work' from what jobs we will need to do in the future to what do we want jobs to do for workers in the future.

.@anmol: policy choices and workers organizing (unionization or other collective action) have the power of changing bad jobs into #goodjobs (it happened with manufacturing) #AspenFSPLive

.@anmol: the crisis of worker financial security will not be solved by skills & training alone; we must focus on upgrading jobs and their quality, and not simply ask workers to upgrade themselves. #AspenFSPLive

It must be his kid's girl scout cookie season if @roybahat is giving out such compliments so indiscriminately
One of the most perceptive students of future-of-work policies, politics, and organizations that I've met on my journey... watch for @anmol. Not to mention kind. And -- sometimes -- funny. Sometimes, Anmol.

The effects of tech change + automation are not inevitable or predetermined. We can shape how they play out through policy, and ensure that these changes lead to better jobs and economic equity, rather than driving down job quality #CAFutureOfWork [3/4] https://t.co/yJV7926s9j

The wealthy state is failing many of its workers, a report commissioned by Gov. Gavin Newsom says, highlighting how California continues to grapple with a starkly unequal economy. It calls for...

We hoped to move the Future of Work conversation beyond misguided fears about a robot apocalypse or a supposed skills gap. Instead, we should focus instead on the job quality crisis, and how to create a better future for workers. #CAFutureOfWork [2/4]

"We will not be able to reskill our way out of this crisis." Critical point of analysis from @anmol and the panelists today. Workers' skill levels aren't the problem. We are failing to value workers essential to our service-driven economies. That's inequality, not a skills gap.
Happening now: we’re kicking off our event with @AspenFSP #AspenFSPlive on Recovery, Re-Employment, and Re-Imagining Work. Join us here: https://t.co/i3gsVD1d3I

Inspired by a similar graph in this NYT piece showing the trend for the US. Was curious how it looked for CA in particular: even much worse https://t.co/GanNE7ypDq

Low rates don’t help much if you can’t get a loan or can’t afford a home.
