From what i understand it’s not a very involved process. Not like you have to go to court and all that. File a complaint, give your side, they investigate.
If the labor board finds wrongdoing, the worker could be rewarded 2-3x what the lost wages were, and the company gets put on shitlist somewhere.
I am far from an expert, but i do frequent workers rights spaces for what it’s worth (nearly nothing).
Same. I finally got into reading which I’ve been regretting not doing for years. I’ve read 5 scifi novels in the last few months and just dipped my toes into the Discworld series with Mort. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my kid’s library card lately.
Whenever i find myself doom scrolling lemmy like i would reddit, I’ve gotten in the habit of putting my phone down and reading a chapter of whatever is nearby.
