Thank you, @TriTa4CA!
#AB504 will give licensed manicurists the right to work as independent contractors.
All @CA_BBC licensees deserve equal treatment and employment opportunities.

Speaking of junk fees, why do we allow states to collect taxes on personal care services?
Looking at @OhioTaxation where #haircare services exempt because of course.

“Real rural leadership isn’t giving speeches about rural problems and calling it a day. You’d better solve them.”
Another failed start-up?
Living in a rural county near #SiliconValley, we can relate.

The difference between Vance’s career & real success at solving rural problems?
The difference between reality and fantasy.
In farming, success doesn’t come from vibes. It comes from doing the work, even when it’s hard.

I am furious that compliant businesses carry the burden for non-compliant businesses. What’s the remedy when enforcement lacking?
.@Uber @lyft et al avoid paying billions in unemployment &other taxes for “gig” workers powering their business. They essentially freeload off employers that pay their fair share. Why aren’t law-abiding businesses furious about this? My latest @Slate (1/10)slate.com/business/2024/05/u…

Workers in all industries deserve #FairWages
No matter how generous, #Tips will never compensate for #WageTheft and #Exploitation
End the #SubminimumWage for #TippedWorkers
The last time the #SubminimumWage was increased was 1991 - the same year a gallon of gas cost about $1.14 ⛽️
When's the last time you've seen prices that low at the pump? Our point exactly.
The price of everything is going up - our wages should too.

If @NewYorkStateAG and @NYSLabor fail to investigate these violations immediately only confirms a double-standard for enforcement.

If #wagetheft could be reported directly to law enforcement or district attorneys, perhaps exploited workers could receive justice and restitution in a timely manner.

Politicians are all “law & order” except when it comes to corporations breaking labor laws.
Every CEO of a company who systematically & intentionally committed wage theft by misclassification of more than $900 in California, should be criminally prosecuted… that’s the law!

In one sense, the #ChildLabor crisis is simple: If employers didn't hire children for dangerous jobs/excessive hours, the problem would stop. How do we deter employers from breaking the law? My latest op-ed in @routefifty outlines state policies (1/3) route-fifty.com/workforce/20…
