    Workers Defense  🔨 Retweeted University of Houston

    Here are the facts: 1. Workers have reported prevailing wage violations and provided evidence. 2. Texas’ prevailing wage statute (TGC § 2258) is the law that covers these complaints. 1/5https://twitter.com/UHouston/status/1220489081433489409 …

    The University of Houston is not in a labor dispute with these workers - they do not work for UH and are not paid by UH. Here are the facts: https://uh.edu/news-events/stories/2020/012319quadstatement … pic.twitter.com/mg9eioMd0l

        3. @UHouston is the public entity with the power to hold contractors accountable and make sure workers are properly paid. 4. @UHouston still has not spoken to the workers we represent. 2/5

        When workers are brave enough to come forward to share their concerns, @UHouston has a responsibility to take those concerns seriously and hold contractors accountable. 3/5

        We ask that @UHouston: (1) review the prevailing wage complaint and evidence we submitted on 1/17; (2) provide a written initial determination as required under the state law; and (3) sit down with WDP & workers to discuss the necessary reforms to prevent this in the future. 4/5

        In the end, this is about workers getting fair pay for an honest day’s work and @UHouston treating the workers who build the campus with dignity and respect. 5/5

        It's insane the trouble workers have to go through for some human decency 🙄
