Top Alan Grayson Quotes

Hillsborough County Right Wing Infestation

 All five Republican Hillsborough County Commissioners rejected a draft ordinance put on the agenda by Democratic Commissioner Kevin Beckner that would have created an administrative process to deal with wage theft. The ordinance, modeled on a program in Miami-Dade County, seeks to settle wage disputes through conciliation. If that doesn’t work and a worker’s claims are judged valid, the employer has to appear before a formal hearing officer. here

A recent study showed Hillsborough County is No. 2 in the state for reported cases of wage theft.
