E tū is condemning the Government’s new employment law proposals as the worst attack on workers’ rights in a generation, warning they will entrench low pay and precarious work across many industries. The most dangerous change is a rewrite of the law that determines whether a worker is an employee or a contractor. E tū... Read more »
Across the country, Republican lawmakers have been working to undermine or altogether undo the will of the voters -- by making it harder to pass amendments and laws through citizen-led initiatives.
In #Missouri, the 2025 legislative session was dominated by Republican lawmakers trying to reverse two major measures that voters had put on the ballot and approved just months before;
one made #abortion in the state legal again, while the other created an employee #sickleave requirement.
GOP lawmakers in #Alaska and #Nebraska also have moved to roll back sick leave benefits that voters approved last year,
while legislators in #Arizona are pushing new restrictions on abortion access, despite voters six months ago approving protections
At the same time, Republican leaders in #Florida, #Utah, #Montana, #Arkansas, #Oklahoma, #Arizona, #Ohio, #NorthDakota and #SouthDakota have approved efforts to restrict citizen-led ballot initiatives or are considering measures to do so,
-- essentially trying to make it harder for voters to change laws outside legislatures.
In some cases, legislators aren’t just responding to measures that voters approved;
they’re acting shortly after citizen-led efforts failed but came too close for comfort,
such as an abortion-rights initiative in Florida,
which in November fell just short of the 60% of votes needed to pass
and loosen the state’s ban on the procedure.

In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.

One of the Dem state Senators, Danielle Conrad, just said, “we shouldn’t have to explain basic civics to adult state senators.”
Another Dem, Jane Raybould, is trying to help the Republicans undermine the ballot initiatives which passed last fall to give sick leave and a higher minimum wage. Of course her family owns a grocery store and she wants to pay children who work less than minimum wage.
This state. 😡
