美国政府： 对外应立即停止对巴勒斯坦人种族灭绝的战争；对内应立即停止虐待妇女，停止24小时工作日

美国政府支持以色列政府持续伤害巴勒斯坦人民，引起全世界的愤慨以及对巴勒斯坦人民的同情。

要知道，美国政府为了在中东地区获得最大的石油利益，扶持以色列政府作为它的恶犬，不断乱吠制造矛盾，维持“不战不和”的局面，方便美国施加影响力。历史上，在美国政府支持下，以色列政府不断分割和霸占巴勒斯坦土地，并视巴勒斯坦人的生命如草芥，逼他们生活在拥挤、狭窄的地区如加沙地带，对他们进行经济封锁，还用隔离墙围起来。巴勒斯坦因此被人称为“世界上最大的露天监狱”！

巴勒斯坦人每天都活在恐惧和压迫中，怎能不反抗？没有美国政府的同意，以色列政府怎敢不顾全世界反对的声音，执意轰炸和入侵加沙地带？连最基本的联合国停火决议，美国也无视大部分国家的意愿，行使一票否决权去阻止。除了每天伤亡人数的不断攀升，加沙地带的两百万巴勒斯坦人在被断电、断水的情况下面临大规模的流离失所：在以色列政府“宣战”的短短十几天内，已有超过60%的巴勒斯坦人被逼迁！不逃命就面临被杀的后果。通过这场种族灭绝的战争，美国政府正在制造另一个移民危机，已引起国内外包括犹太人在内的民众谴责。呼吁大家一起反对这场战争，要拜登总统立即停战！

美国政府能够长期发动和支持国外的战争，靠的是压迫和剥削国内的广大工人和民众。在政府的支持下，保险公司和护理公司逼有色族裔妇女家庭护理员做不人道的24小时工作日，日复一日破坏我们工友的健康和家庭，并且只付13小时工资。全世界都没有这样反人类的工作安排。欧德思作为市议会议长，一直拒绝把【不再有24小时工作日法案】拿出来投票来停止这个反人类罪，让无良老板继续残害我们。政府一边帮这些无良老板吸我们的血汗钱，一边还用我们的钱来支持战争，岂有此理！

身在纽约市，我们要联合所有支持正义、反对战争和压迫的团体和个人，一起停止美国政府对国内工人和民众的压迫，比如停止针对有色族裔妇女的暴力，并共同改善工作和生活环境。要求市议会议长欧德思：立即拿【不再有24小时工作日法案】出来投票，彻底废除24小时工作日，否则就马上下台！

The Coalition for a Real Minimum Wage Increase is happy to hear that Governor Cuomo has finally announced that his administration will convene the wage board and raise the minimum wage for tipped workers, the majority of whom are women.

But we are not stopping here. We continue to to rally in front of the Department of Labor and keep up the pressure to make sure the wage board is inclusive, and to make sure Governor Cuomo and the DOL commit to enforce the law by investigating wage theft claims 6 years back and supporting the SWEAT bill to strengthen the current law and make enforcement possible.

Furthermore, we call on Governor Cuomo to raise the minimum wage to more than $8 so workers can survive and stop giving millions in subsidies to corporations for hiring teen workers.

We urge all workers and supporters to join the picket line. This is a crucial time for New Yorkers to speak out and demand Governor Cuomo take action.

Governor Cuomo: We Demand a Real Minimum Wage for All Workers

Not Second-Class Treatment, Not Corporate Welfare!

The New York State bill is a sham. It will enrich employers and corporations to the detriment of all working people. New Yorkers deserve a real wage raise, one that improves conditions for all workers.

  • The bill is too little, too late: Raising the minimum wage to only $9 over 3 years is not enough for anyone to survive on. New York’s minimum wage would be over $10.70 if it had kept up with the cost of living since 1970.
  • The bill is discriminatory against tipped workers: This bill does not include a provision to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers. It directs that decision to a Wage Board. This excludes the hundreds of thousands of tipped workers who are predominately women and people of color.  Due to increases in the cost of living, going without a raise in reality means a pay cut.  Separate is never equal.
  • The bill subsidizes Corporations to hire young workers, encouraging them to replace those who are currently employed. Businesses will receive a refundable tax credit for hiring youth aged 16-19. This encourages businesses to lower the wages of especially older workers or replace them with teenagers. It is projected to cost the public hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
  • Furthermore, the bill does not hold corporations such as Dominos Pizza, McDonalds, etc. accountable and does not put resources into enforcing the labor law.Many workers receive less than minimum wage and work long hours without overtime pay, but when they come forward, it often takes years for the Labor Department to investigate the cases. This lack of enforcement encourages employers and corporations to violate the labor law.

This bill is harmful to all working people. Hold Gov. Cuomo accountable!

We demand:

  1. The minimum wage should be increased to be at least $10/hr, indexed to inflation.
  2. Tipped workers should not be treated as second-class citizen. Tipped workers should receive a minimum-wage increase along with all other workers.
  3. Put resources into enforcement and strengthen the labor law, instead of giving millions to corporations in subsidies to hire youth to replace workers currently employed.
