Today, NIWR asked U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Goldman Sachs for “possible violations of the securities laws.” Goldman Sachs publically committed to increasing the diversity of their workforce while simultaneously funding anti-diversity organizations. #DEI niwr.org/2024/05/07/ltr…

Workers and investors deserve to know when their workplaces invest in causes contrary to their missions and goals.

Goldman Sachs has successfully positioned itself as a leader in DEI, despite undermining its own promises and commitments. Read our letter asking the SEC to investigate. niwr.org/2024/05/07/rel…

Thank you Suzanne Bonamici Rep. Bobby Scott and Ed Markey for introducing the Equal Remedies Act of 2024, eliminating damage caps for employment discrimination in civil rights cases, and allowing those who experience age discrimination to pursue compensatory and punitive damages.

NIWR stands for economic dignity for all workers. Without proactive efforts to break down barriers that have traditionally excluded women and people of color from opportunities at work, discrimination will operate unchecked.

90% of service workers experience violations of their workplace rights, but <1% report them to labor agencies. Retaliation, lack of information, lack of faith in our enforcement system are huge barriers. We need to protect PAGA so brave whistleblowers can fight for all!

Grateful for Michael Posner's Forbes column on our work at National Institute for Workers' Rights highlighting Goldman Sachs' hypocrisy on DEI. Now is not the time to turn back the clock on access to opportunity.

Following up on our request that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigate Goldman Sachs for possible securities law violations, yesterday we asked the Goldman Sachs Board to remove anti-diversity, anti-opportunity groups from the list of eligible grantees for their DAFs. niwr.org/2024/05/29/cor…

Monopolies: 👉Bad for consumers (high prices) 👉Bad for democracy (corporations get too much political power) 👉Also bad for workers! They lower wages & job options. Pat_Garofalo & I wrote in The Hill about state antitrust bills that would help. thehill.com/opinion/financ…

Diversity opponents like Ed Blum are trying to pervert a Reconstruction Era civil rights law and use it as a weapon AGAINST racial justice. Read more from @DavidHGans of Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC) in @slate: slate.com/news-and-polit…

It’s already way too easy for employers to retaliate against union organizers and get away with it. But the Supreme Court just made it even easier. Read Jenny Hunter and Terri Gerstein on the Starbucks case.

Neo-segregationists are working to restrict opportunities for Black people & restore Jim Crow-era privileges for white people. They’re being funded by the biggest charities in the country. Demand these charities stop funding a pro-discrimination agenda: coc.is/HoldCharitiesA…

.Goldman Sachs: How much $ do you have to give to BIPOC to make up for donating to the Klan? Goldman Sachs said b/c they invested in Black women entrepreneurs, it’s OK they gave $125K to neo-segregationists like Stephen Miller. Hold them accountable at coc.is/HoldCharitiesA….

We agree with ColorOfChange -- it's not OK for Goldman Sachs to be funding anti-diversity, anti-opportunity while claiming to be committed to a more diverse workforce. That's why we asked them to stop and the SEC to investigate. niwr.org/2024/05/29/let…

NELP applauds the proposal of a new OSHA_DOL rule that would provide indoor & outdoor #HeatProtections for all #workers. The new rule would require employers to provide rest, hydration, & shade. This rule is the result of years-long worker advocacy. nelp.org/on-oshas-propo…

Kudos to consumerfinance.gov Rohit Chopra and U.S. Department of Labor Acting Secretary Julie Su for fighting to protect workers from predatory lending in the workplace. #yesJulieSu

The House budget for DOL would gut the agency's ability to enforce workers' rights. Check out National Employment Law Project' explanation of the effect of these proposed cuts. nelp.org/house-gops-pro…

Welcome, Asher! The Institute and NELA are thrilled to continue our work to support and train the next generation of workers' rights advocates. law.stanford.edu/press/stanford…

Antitrust isn't only about collusion — it's also about coercion. Monopolists like Microsoft, Amazon and others exploit vertical restraints to exercise even more dominance over our marketplace. Read more from our ED David Seligman coloradopolitics.com/opinion/update…
