Fair Workweek Bill
“An Act relative to the scheduling of employees” (H. 1546 & S. 412), The Massachusetts Fair Workweek Bill, allows workers in restaurants, retail establishments, and the hospitality industry the chance to build stable lives for themselves and their families, because for many, erratic work schedules make stability almost impossible. Hours can be assigned arbitrarily at an employer’s discretion and changed with no advance notice, leaving workers to cope with fluctuating paychecks and constant problems coordinating child and elder care, second and third jobs, and further education or professional development. Women, people of color, and low-wage workers are the most impacted. MassBill Fact Sheet (pdf), Fact Sheet (pdf, Español pdf)

Fair, progressive taxation would replace premiums and co-pays.
