    It is illegal to take any unfavorable action โ€“ including termination โ€“ against employees for union-related activities under the National Labor Relations Act. New York is a proud union state. We say no way, no how to intimidation, threats and union busting.
    Saturdays are for violating labor laws!! ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™Œ

    Make no mistake: New York State has zero tolerance when it comes to worker exploitation.

    Hey @TuckerCarlson, Itโ€™s us again, the NYS DOL. Diversity in the workplace is not โ€œillegalโ€ or โ€œdiscriminatory.โ€ Itโ€™s fair, and it means that our workforce represents the strengths of our countryโ€™s diverse communities. Weโ€™re happy to share more โ€” we know a lot on the subject.
    Tucker Carlson is currently attacking corporate diversity policies for "awarding this country's spoils on the basis of skin color rather than merit." Then goes on to call diversity policies "illegal" and "racial discrimination"

    Last night, an update to our system inadvertently caused a delay in the release of $600 FPUC payments. UI & PUA payments were not impacted. We have corrected the issue & FPUC payments will be processed tonight. Youโ€˜ll receive your money this week. Thank you for your patience.

    As the American Rescue Plan extension kicks in this week, some claimants may see a 1-2 day delay in their $300 FPUC payments. FPUC payments will be paid this week to those who certified on Sunday. No delays are anticipated for claimants who certify on Monday or later.

    Hey @TuckerCarlson, Research shows that closing the #genderwagegap is beneficial for women, men, families, the US & global economies and businesses. Read up:
    Tucker Carlson says women making more money than men leads to "more drug and alcohol abuse, higher incarceration rates, fewer families formed for the next generation"
