Largest Wage theft complaint Ever filed against a Federal Contractor


The CWA is helping to organize workers at GDIT call centers - They handle ACA and Medicare calls for folks - in many cases this is live saving work. But their employer, General Dynamics Information Technology (Yes, its part of THAT General Dynamics) is stealing their wages. They are forced to survive by making some really hard choices, and many rely on public assistance to make ends meet. They are also intimidating the workers who are trying to come together to form a union.

We put this video together in partnership with CWA to get the workers voices out in the public. Please share it if you can. $100million in stolen wages for folks that are surviving on public assistance is just wrong - and GDIT is using our taxpayer dollars to do it.

I think we need the Death Penalty for corporations who abuse their workers to this extent, or commit other heinous acts.

I also think we need to adopt what FDR said:
