The proposed HB500 bill in Kentucky threatens the fundamental rights of workers, including fair pay, breaks, and access to food during work hours. These are not privileges but basic human rights that every worker is entitled to. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), decent work involves opportunities for work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families. The HB500 bill undermines these principles by potentially limiting workers' access to fair pay and breaks.

In a country where 78% of full-time workers live paycheck-to-paycheck (CNBC report), it's crucial that we ensure all employees receive their due rights. This petition aims at opposing the HB500 bill which could further exacerbate this issue.

We call on all Kentuckians who believe in upholding human dignity through fair labor practices - stand with us against this bill. Your signature can make a difference in ensuring everyone has the right to eat and get fair breaks and pay at work. Sign this petition today!
