It gets really hot in the morning when you’re constantly going up and down ladders with no air conditioning. Being able to work with the a/c on would increase our work performance!

For our rights as humans to be treated fairly and not be left outside in the heat to die.

If this does not happen we cannot survive. You will live drowning in finances, working three times as hard for 40% less pay. The pay has gotten out of control. It should matter to you that they are making millions and have cut our pay to almost nothing.

Since the pandemic is still ongoing, transportation and safety are currently an issue for all employees of Caledonian.

This petition is important for several reasons; the first, it is unethical behavior that associates at Lowe’s of West Hills have suffered. There are many tenured, knowledgeable and hard working people working at this location. Employees should not be afraid or stressed going to work at Lowe’s because of this manager. Employees have the right to a workplace that is free from harassment and Constant mental distress from individuals who should lead by example and lead their team to succeed. Employees have the right to report claims against unfair and unethical treatment without retaliation and with the expectation of fair solutions.

We are workers in disability services writing to address issues that impact us and the people we provide services to—people with developmental and intellectual disabilities in the greater Philadelphia region. As direct care workers, employment support professionals, personal care attendants, and other essential workers, we make it possible for many people to live and work in their communities, and without the revenue we bring in, the provider agencies we work for could not exist. However, despite our critical responsibilities, the work is not taken seriously, and consequently the well-being of disabled people is disregarded. ODP and provider agencies do not meet the needs of the people they allegedly serve because they do not invest in their workforce. Provider agencies do not pay most disability service workers a living wage, and they provide cursory, poor-quality training. Low wages and inadequate training lead to high turnover, chaotic workplace environments, and a workforce who is unprepared to meet the needs and desires of the people we serve. The high turnover rate combined with the lack of training disrupt peoples’ lives and increase the risk of preventable incidents, which often cause incredible trauma. ODP and provider agencies’ failure to invest in us as workers directly harms people with disabilities. We, as disability service workers, must be paid at least $15 an hour and be trained commensurate with the importance of our role in the lives of other human beings. ODP and provider agencies exclude disability service workers from the conversation about how to improve our field, and we demand to be recognized for our essential input. In addition, disabled people must be included in the conversation to center their needs, insight, and experience. Disabled people frequently do not have a choice about who is part of their lives or system of care and are more likely to experience abuse because they may depend on others to assist them. Those with direct experience of receiving services must be the primary authority on the value of the services they receive and the broader conversations around our field. We demand a comprehensive training system that prepares workers for their jobs that is developed and led by people with disabilities. It is not fair to the workers or to disabled people to be treated with such disregard. Workers need to be prepared for our jobs, and we deserve opportunities to grow and develop as professionals. Disabled people deserve well-trained workers who provide safe and steady support. They should not be placed in abusive or stressful situations or be forced to ask a stranger, friend, or relative to help them because they can’t trust their workers or the provider system to prioritize their well-being. The lack of recognition given to the importance of direct care work misses opportunities to create commitment in the job and enduring positive relationships with the community it intends to serve. We demand that the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs and provider agencies of the Philadelphia area pay a wage of dignity and provide training commensurate with the great responsibility we have in supporting and caring for our fellow human beings. Once a critical mass of disability care workers sign onto the petition, we will deliver this petition and escalate to ensure ODP meets our demands.

Our leadership cannot claim to be pro-employee, as FHCSD has done, and not be proactive in improving the safety and well-being of our employees. To continue to devalue our workers you continue to choose to allow them to suffer through housing and food insecurity. As our leaders, we expect you to choose better. If you are a Family Health Centers of San Diego employee, or want to support our community, sign this petition to voice our collective demand for FHCSD leadership to change the organization's starting wage to $22 per hour for all employees, and provide adequate adjustments based on previous raises earned.

Because I have been with this company since 2013 and my wages are still under $10.00

Ellen is more than deserving of a second chance.

It's one more benefit that all AA employees and Retirees should have available. I firmly believe that the company should offer this for all their hard working active and retirees employees. Please have a serious conversation about making this happen. Thank you

Hair color is a way to show healthy individuality among people, especially young people. We are in a day and age where almost everyone coming into our stores have unnatural hair color. Unnatural hair colors is no longer a distraction and should be allowed in the work place. Allowing dyed hair could also improve your employees mood and mental health. Being restricted in this way can leave young adults feeling depressed, reminding them of strict schools they most likely detested. We should keep our company's dress codes updated with the times. Not allowing unnatural hair color is very outdated and needs to be retired.

The primary concern I have with the tattoo policy is the possibility of overheating. When working at a car wash like Tidal Wave one spends the vast majority of their day outside in the hot sun. I personally have had multiple instances where I was simply too hot to continue working and had to take a break to cool down. I love this company and the services we provide, but I believe this change needs to be made for the safety of our employees.
