Congratulations union siblings! Welcome to the labor movement! maineaflcio.org/news/coffee-de… @LIUNA
@dillesquire Just to chime in here…farmworkers in Maine currently have a private right of action under Maine law (Title 26 626A) that they’ve utilized to win non payment of wages. The Governor’s proposed bill would have taken a step backwards and removed an existing right for farmworkers.
"Protecting [farmworkers] & affording them the right to a min wage, which every other employee in the state of Maine has access to, is really important. That’s how you get good food from a good place.” - Jenni Tilton Flood, owner of Maine’s largest dairy farm in Clinton.

Mills also vetoed a bill that would have banned noncompetes earlier this month

Of note on the farmworker minimum wage veto: Gov. Mills insists that the Department of Labor should enforce a farmworker minimum wage law. But by its own admission the DOL has struggled to deter rulebreaking, as Maine employers can expect an investigation once every 323 years
This veto is unreasonable and unacceptable. I will vote to override it even though I have no realistic hope that it will be overridden.

@dillesquire Here’s link to section of private right of action section of law that farmworkers currrently utilize that Governor’s bill would have negated legislature.maine.gov/legis/statutes…
@dillesquire The committee amended the bill to preserve an existing enforcement right that farmworkers currently have and utilize
@MEAFLCIO @GovJanetMills What the hell. What’s wrong with her?!? Wasn’t this the watered down compromise bill after she vetoed collective bargaining last year?! Shameful.
I am disappointed that @GovJanetMills has vetoed the minimum wage for farmworkers. It is beyond ridiculous for her to call stakeholders together to meet for months, develop a policy recommendation endorsed by her own Department of Agriculture and then veto it.
A win for labor law in Maine, where @GovJanetMills signed a card check bill into law. The law will make it easier for public service workers to unionize and have a voice in the state. Read more from @MEAFLCIO @AFSCME @AFSCME93 afscme.org/blog/maine-mem…

wild how close this vote is. great to see it pass, but depressing to see ag workers seen as second-class by so many of those in power.

My bill to make organizing by public workers more straightforward is now law!

Illinois could become the sixth state to ban captive audience meetings. Employers use these mandatory meetings in 90% of NLRB elections to pressure employees not to unionize. Sen. @RobertJPeters' new bill would make it illegal to retaliate against employees who don't attend.
