from Ted Parsons
Friends & Allies of Working Families,
We have had some success to today in the wage theft fight
(see bottom text) but there is more to do to keep the momentum going
in the worker's favor. We can't let this opportunity slip away. Rapid Response
is needed in the next few days and we need your help to assure a working family's victory.
To keep the pressure on we have scheduled the 3 events
listed below. Your enthusiastic participation can help assure us a victory. The
wage theft preemption bill HB 957 in the Florida House still preempts Florida
counties from enacting any wage theft ordinance other than that of the weakest
effectiveness. Counties could not enact ordinances that might suit their unique
particular needs.
HB 957 is primarily supported by the Florida Retail
Federation (FRF). The FRF board members include representatives from Play
it Again Sports, Publix, Office Depot, Macy's and
others. To put pressure on these wage theft supporting companies we have
scheduled Rapid Response events at the times and locations below.
Thursday, 3/27/14 5pm to 6pm at:
Play It Again Sports
3351 SE Federal Hwy. Stuart, FL 34997
Friday, 3/28/14 5pm to 6pm at:
Office Depot
2627 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33409
Saturday, 3/29/14 11am to 12pm at:
Macy's
575 S Rosemary Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33401
The primary event is this Saturday's Event at Macy's
Downtown. We will be requesting Media attendance at this event. Please make
extraordinary effort to support all the events but especially the Saturday
event at Macy's Downtown.
Please inform Rodney Statham (rstatham@flaflcio.org) 850-567-6607 or myself of your
planned attendance. See below for info on today's wage theft events.
Thank you,
Ted Parsons
