If you've been following NYC politics, you probably saw the mukbang video Mayor Mamdani made with DCWP Commissioner Sam Levine about enforcing workers' rights laws. (For the record, yes, we did have to explain to Brad what a "mukbang" is. He sort of gets it now.)
What you might not know is that the law they were enforcing was authored by Brad himself!
The Fair Workweek Law was written by Brad and overwhelmingly passed by the New York City Council in 2017. At the time, fast-food workers faced erratic schedules, with little advance notice, shifts that got canceled without pay, late-nights followed by early mornings, and many were stuck involuntarily in part-time jobs without benefits. Brad’s law changed all that: it provided much-needed protections for NYC's fast-food workers, guaranteeing them predictable, stable schedules, and a pathway to full-time work if they want it.
That’s the law that Mayor Mamdani and DCWP Commissioner Levine enforced early this year, recovering $1.5 million for hundreds of Dunkin Donuts and Taco Bell franchise workers who had been cheated out of the fair workweek entitled to them. Now Brad is ready to take that type of legislation nationwide.
John, fast food and retail workers should have stable schedules across the country — not just in NYC. Brad is ready to fight like hell to pass the Fair Workweek Law in Congress, but he needs your help to get there. Can you chip in to help our people-powered campaign succeed?
