Wage theft occurs when workers are paid less than the minimum wage or another agreed-upon rate, work “off-the-clock” without pay, get paid less than time-and-a-half for overtime, have their tips stolen, have illegal deductions taken out of their paychecks, are misclassified as “independent contractors” instead of employees, or are simply not paid at all. It’s a trend that spans industries across the economy, including retail, restaurant, home health care, domestic work, manufacturing, construction, day labor, janitorial, security, dry cleaning, laundry, car wash, and nail salons. And it’s a practice that hurts not only workers whose wages are short-changed, but local economies that are fueled by workers’ spending, and well-meaning businesses that are forced to compete with wage cheats that shave their operating costs by breaking the law. Luckily, there’s another trend – a wave of grassroots energy and campaigns on the state and local levels to ensure that workers get paid the wages they're owed. From California to Arkansas to Florida to Maryland, workers and their allies are organizing to pass – and defend – policies that help workers receive their lawful wages, level the playing field for law-abiding businesses, and boost the economy at the same time. To support these campaigns, in January 2011, NELP released “Winning Wage Justice<http://www.nelp.org/page/m/6cf7165/71588f4a/33e2beb7/6f6c92b9/3853696758/VE…>,” a comprehensive guide outlining 28 state and city best-practice policies that community groups can implement to fight wage theft. Continuing our “Winning Wage Justice” series, NELP is pleased to share these new publications:**** - A Summary of Research on Wage-and-Hour Violations in the United States<http://www.nelp.org/page/m/6cf7165/71588f4a/33e2beb7/6f6c92b8/3853696758/VE…> **** - Talking Points on the Need for Stronger Anti-Wage Theft Laws<http://www.nelp.org/page/m/6cf7165/71588f4a/33e2beb7/6f6c92b7/3853696758/VE…> **** - Choosing the Policy Options Right for Your Community<http://www.nelp.org/page/m/6cf7165/71588f4a/33e2beb7/6f6c92b6/3853696758/VE…> **** - Round-up of Recent State and Local Activity to Combat Wage Theft<http://www.nelp.org/page/m/6cf7165/71588f4a/33e2beb7/6f6c92b5/3853696758/VE…> **** Especially in today's economy, it's critically important to protect the fundamental right to be paid for the work that you do.

The Public Sector Labor Relations Certificate Program provides high-quality, relevant courses to help labor relations practitioners and employer/employee advocates gain critical skills to prevent labor disputes, support effective conflict resolution, and promote collective negotiation. Catered to both labor and management representatives at all levels of government - whether state, county, or municipal - the curriculum ensures that participants will acquire an in-depth understanding of key labor and employment issues. This program is a partnership between the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) and Labor Education and Research Now (LEARN) in the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Spring 2012 Public Sector Grievance Arbitration <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=zq5phugab&et=1109146179602&s=2960&e=00182fynu…> *February 16, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.* *Instructor: Joan Parker * * * This seminar is designed to increase the practitioner's skills in preparing for and presenting grievance arbitration cases. Major subjects discussed include preparing for arbitration, the hearing, presenting a case, standards for just cause, evidence, criteria for contract interpretation, remedies, the arbitration decision, and different arbitration systems. This interactive class also includes a film. Scope of Negotiations<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=zq5phugab&et=1109146179602&s=2960&e=00182fynu…> *March 15, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.* *Instructor: Don Horowitz * * * This course will address all aspects of the scope of negotiations in New Jersey's public sector. It will trace the legislative, judicial, and PERC developments that have impacted the issues that can and must be the subjects of collective negotiations and grievance arbitration. The class will also examine how PERC decides the scope of negotiations in particular cases. Contract Interpretation<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=zq5phugab&et=1109146179602&s=2960&e=00182fynu…> *April 19, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.* *Instructor: Steven Weissman and Management Advocate * * * This class will examine how the meaning and enforceability of contract language negotiated under the N.J. Employer-Employee Relations Act has evolved notably over the last 40 years, and how court decisions, arbitrators' opinions, and PERC rulings have served to establish a set of principles and guidelines for negotiating binding contract language in the public sector. Participants will learn the processes and procedures of enforcing and interpreting contract provisions, from both labor and management perspectives. Conflict Resolution<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=zq5phugab&et=1109146179602&s=2960&e=00182fynu…> *May 17, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.* *Instructor: Saul A. Rubinstein * * * Although labor relationships are rooted in underlying, fundamental conflicts of interest, there exist many techniques for reducing dysfunctional conflict. This class will expose participants to interest-based and other problem-solving techniques that can be used in grievances, at the bargaining table, and every day in the workplace. It also will examine models of labor-management cooperation in the public sector, and participants will learn through role playing and hands-on exercises. [image: Diploma] Congratulaions!
