We traveled across the state to talk with folks about what guaranteed overtime benefits would mean to them. Their message to our lawmakers in Augusta is clear: Mainers are overworked and underpaid. It's time to do something about it.
Join us in calling on our legislators to support a new law that would give nearly 30,000 Mainers a raise. Sign here to take action: www.workingfamiliesme.org/take-action
Thanks to the leadership of Senator Chenette and Senator Jackson, LD 54 is now law making it harder for special interests to buy access and influence in Augusta.
In Maine, far too many labor violations go unreported. Maine workers deserve recourse against these violations, but until our leaders in Augusta establish legal protections for whistleblowers, bad employers will continue to hold all the power. Mainers For Working Families supports LD 1691: An Act To Enhance Enforcement of Employment Laws.
