On Mon., January 9, 2023, Elijah Wood was terminated from his employment at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) after speaking up about safety concerns that the Systems Advocates’ team were raising in the field. The concerns Elijah raised are rooted in the desire to protect the people who are doing this work, our unhoused neighbors, and our community. We believe Elijah’s termination was unjust, illegal, and without cause or due process. Therefore, we, the unified employees of KCRHA, stand together to demand that:  Systems Advocates not be assigned to conduct outreach in the field without proper safety equipment.  Systems Advocates not be assigned to conduct outreach without the proper information about encampments needed to do their jobs safely and effectively, like whether any known dangers are present.   All staff concerns be heard and centered with regards to safety policy and procedure, and not be dismissed or punished.  We, the undersigned, hereby demand that Elijah Wood be reinstated to his former position immediately and that an internal investigation be conducted into the safety concerns raised.

Because if you’re like me it’s time to be heard, it’s time for Starbucks to realize how many other food establishments that allow nails and fingernail polish. It’s time for Starbucks to see what they have taken from me and others … as I stated before it’s a part of who I am how I identify myself…

Screenwriters are under-recognized and under-rewarded for their contributions because the work happens early in the production process. Minority and female writers face the largest barriers to credit and pay. Fortunately, the Screenwriters Guild has collected and archived many years of data on contracts, earnings, and credit decisions. These data hold the answers to our questions! These data have the power to reveal what policies can improve the bargaining position of writers, and equity among writers! Have challenges to credit been handled fairly? Have our policies to limit executive credit increased pay for writers? Are credit reviews really anonymous and giving equal treatment to females, males and non-binary writers? Are minorities credited equally for equal work, and paid equally too? These data must be released to an expert to find out! A Harvard professor has offered to analyze the data and produce a high-profile report on the topics we ask for, but Tery Lopez must grant them permission to access the data securely. Please join us in a movement to release our data for answers!

Because it would help in the mental health and self esteem of the associates who work for this company and encourage them to feel better in the workplace.

It's effected all employees. Over 1000 agents were let go of, compensation packages have been modified, bonuses modified and career paths completely removed. Many agents signed on to help people on Medicare and were switched to high ticket sales.

Because all drivers are on the same page as I am . And we should raise our voices and stop 🛑 these big companies to take advantage of us.

Workers in the economy deserve a break. With U.S. inflation hitting 9.1% in June, the cost of living has become more and more expensive. And while people are struggling, major companies are raking in more revenue than ever. But when employers refuse to increase wages to keep up with inflation families are forced to stretch their paycheck further and further. My coworkers and I deserve a pay raise from [Your Employer] in order to weather the changes in the economy.

it allows people to feel secure in their expression of self

Every single employee wants to see change and have been silenced just to be able to keep there jobs!

We can not afford to work if we can not afford to live.

Because living cost more

It is the job of Facebook content moderators to try and make the platform safe. This means reviewing every post that is either reported by a user or flagged by Facebook’s automated tools from its 3 billion users. For context, around 130,000 images are uploaded to Facebook every minute. The work can be harrowing, with content moderators having to look at some of the worst material on the internet. This includes murder, gruesome violence, hate speech and the sexual exploitation of children. Outsourced content moderators don’t receive proper mental health support and many develop PTSD as a result of their experience. This year, TIME magazine (https://time.com/6147458/facebook-africa-content-moderation-employee-treatment/) revealed chilling abuse at Facebook's content moderation centre in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers reported exploitation and unlawful union-busting at the Nairobi office, run by Sama — the US company who Facebook use as its main provider of outsourced content moderation in Africa. For this harrowing and dangerous work, TIME revealed workers are paid as little as $2.20 per hour. Sign this petition today in solidarity with them and all Facebook content moderators around the world.
