#compensating — Public Fediverse posts

There's a lot that could be said about Bill Belichick and his adolescent girlfriend, but maybe even more striking is that he thinks he needs to wear a disabling number of Superbowl rings to an NFL honors event... (because otherwise nobody would know?)

Many people dislike the seemingly ever-larger number of ever-larger pickup trucks on the roads in North America these days.

It's not your imagination. The population of these trucks is increasing beyond the ability of their environment to support them. The reason?

Too many people are failing to neuter their trucks. You can see intact trucks moving around the cities daily.

Be a good citizen. If you see an intact super-truck, neuter it yourself! It only takes a moment. Also the owner, if you can find them.

"#Workers in the #US have an estimated $50bn-plus #stolen from them every year, according to the #Economic #Policy #Institute, surpassing all #robberies, #burglaries and motor vehicle #thefts #combined. The majority of these stolen #wages are never recovered by workers.

Between 2017 to 2020, $3.24bn in stolen wages were recovered by the US Department of Labor, state labor departments and attorney generals, and through class- and collective-action litigation.

#Wage theft disproportionately affects lower-wage workers, women, people of color, and immigrant workers, and negatively affects local #economies and #tax #revenues.

There are numerous forms of wage theft, from #employers not #compensating workers for time #worked, #violating minimum #wage and #overtime #laws, misclassifying #employees as independent #contractors, not providing #legally required meal breaks, confiscating worker tips, or illegally taking #deductions from worker wages."
