To: Play it Again Sports, Macy's, Office Depot, The Florida State House, and The Florida State Senate
Protect Victims of Wage Theft
Florida House and Florida Senate: protect victims of WAGE THEFT and Vote "NO" on HB 957 and SB 926.
Play it Again Sports, Macy's and Office Depot: as members of the board tell the Florida Retail Federation to stop defending WAGE THIEVES and making it more difficult for victims to recover their stolen wages. Support the workers who keep your retail stores running by allowing local governments to establish wage theft ordinances that work best for them. Tell the Florida House and Senate to kill HB 957 and SB 926.
Why is this important?
As a victim of Wage Theft, I understand the struggle of trying to put food on the table after having your hard earned dollars stolen. Allowing local governments to establish effective wage theft ordinances in Florida will help victims like myself be made whole and retrieve our lost wages quickly and inexpensively. The Florida Retail Federation is trying to do the opposite with HB 957 and SB 926. These bills eliminate options for local governments, forcing all wage theft victims to rely on our underfunded, overburdened court system. Forcing all victims like me into the courts would make it extremely difficult for victims of wage theft to recover their wages.
