#HappyNewYear! As of tomorrow January 1, 2026, the minimum wage in #NewJersey will be $15.92/hr for most workers. Make sure you're paid in full, overtime paid at 1.5 times in a 40 hour workweek, and remember that status DOESN'T matter: time worked is time paid. See you in the fight in 2026!

We seek to educate, empower, and strengthen the cultural identity of migrant children, youth, and families, reaffirming art as a tool of resistance, unity, and joy.

Calling all families! Join New Labor as we celebrate our 25th anniversary with "Nuestras Voces, Nuestros Colores", through the collective creation of a mural and a workshop on Latin American rhythms, with cumbia as the central theme, the rhythm that unites the nations of the Americas.

Families belong together. On October 9th, 13-year-old Arthur was detained by ICE and separated from his mother, a domestic worker in MA, without her knowledge.

Workers Roast as Federal Heat Standard Languishes Workers are overheating on the job, even in blue states. A proposed federal rule could helpβ€”but the Trump administration might abandon it.

As a federal heat rule becomes ever more unlikely, even in the best-case scenario #workers would still have to wait two years for #HeatProtections to go into effect.

But workers can’t wait for #HeatJustice. Learn why @prospect.org: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...
