DOES YOUR SHELTER EXPECT YOU TO WORK FOR CASH OR LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE? SHITTY EMPLOYERS YOU CAN DO WITHOUT!

We've heard that some shitty employers are calling employment centers at homeless shelters expecting homeless to work for them for less than minimum wage, sometimes for cash, sometimes paying $25 for a whole day of standing in the sun holding up a sign for their rental properties or other business, sometimes expecting them to do other menial jobs like breaking apart cars for a wrecking yard, or sweeping up at a construction site. Sometimes expecting them to usher or otherwise "work" at conventions.

WE KNOW YOU NEED THE MONEY. What you don't need:

You don't need a job you can't list on a resume or a job that will provide no good reference.

You don't need to violate the terms and conditions of your GR, SSI, SSDI, or UNEMPLOYMENT!

You don't need to be injured on the job and have no Workman's Comp insurance.

YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL PRESSURED TO TAKE THIS KIND OF WORK TO IMPRESS CASE MANAGEMENT!

What to do if you are being forced to work for free or less than minimum wage? REPORT IT!
