Sign up for state legislature alerts on worker rights issues
This session of the Tennessee Legislature, like last year's, is shaping up to be a rough one for workers. From attempts to repeal our local living wage laws to attacks on the rights of union members, your action will be needed. Sign up now for WIN's brand new email list, focused on quick actions you can take on particular state legislature bills. Even if you already receive general WIN emails, please also sign up for this new list.
Tell Gov. Haslam to veto any repeal of local living wage laws
Anti-worker state legislators are once again gearing up to try to ban all living wage ordinances in Tennessee. A proposed bill would also repeal the living wage laws that you worked so hard to pass in Memphis and Shelby County. Recently, Gov. Haslam said he didn't think the state should interfere in local government decisions about living wage laws, but he wouldn't say whether he will veto the legislature bill if it's passed. Sign our electronic petition to Gov. Haslam, urging him to commit now to vetoing any ban on local living wage laws.
Sign the living wage petition for University of Memphis workers
Because of activism by workers, students, and community members like you, the University of Memphis has taken a first step toward a living wage for its workers. But much more needs to be done, and many workers still earn far below a living wage. Sign our electronic petition to University President Shirley Raines encouraging her to take the next steps to a living wage this academic year. We are also looking for volunteers to collect printed petitions from your friends, congregation members, union members, or from your community group. To receive a packet of printed petitions, contact Zach Ferguson at (901) 332-3570.
Sign up for our email updates from the front lines of WIN's work
When action is needed quickly, we often send our alerts through our email newsletter rather than posting information on our website. We send out alerts an average of 1 -3 times per month. Sign up now using the box in the upper right corner of this page.
