華人進步會工人代表呼籲僱主遵守勞工法，保障工人權益。記者蘇婕雅攝
從7月1日起，三藩市所有勞工的最低時薪將從16.99元上漲至18.07元。29日上午，近50個工人權利社區合作組織(WRCC)的代表在三藩市24街和米慎街交界的捷運站外舉行集會，慶祝這一令人興奮的消息。
WRCC是一個多種族裔組織的勞動工聯盟。集會用粵語、英語及西語三種語言同時進行。代表餐廳、家政、酒店、護理和其他服務部門的工人代表們進行公眾發言，表達在創紀錄的通貨膨脹時期提高工資的重要性以及加大推廣宣傳，提醒工人要知道自己的權利。
華人進步會工人代表司徒詠瑜表示：「這對工人來說是一個進步，但我們也必須呼籲所有僱主遵守勞工法。」除了提高最低工資外，工作場所環境健康和安全、失業福利和醫療保險等對於工人也很重要，「特別是對於移民工人，容易因為英語水平有限和不懂勞工法等成為老闆剝削的對象。」
進步會組織員陳淑怡指出，如果勞工遭受不公平對待或擔心遭僱主報復，可向華人進步會求助，就如他們的口號：「工人啊、團結啊，人人爭取不用怕！」
菲律賓社區中心工人領袖蒂塔·科里 (Tita Cory) 分享：「我以前在一家看護機構工作，但僱主不遵守最低工資、休息時間和加班費等規定。當時我覺得別無選擇，只能在這樣的條件下繼續工作，讓我很難過。後來加入了社區中心，我今年才了解到我的權利。」
拉美裔工人聯盟Trabajadores Unidos代表瑪麗亞·維內加斯（Maria Venegas）說，三藩市正處於經濟復甦的重要時期，應該由支持最底層的工作權益開始，「真正復甦必須保護我們的工人階級和邊緣化群體的最迫切的需求。」
Dolores Street Community Services的代表David Valencia表示，「由於三藩市的生活成本高昂，通貨膨脹加劇，令生活起來要困難得多。」社區組織將繼續為工人爭取更多加薪。
除了提高最低工資外，過去幾年三藩市還通過了新法令，例如《家庭友好工作場所條例》，為有家庭需要照顧的工人提供了職責靈活的工作安排以及主管對其休假請求的及時響應。本報記者蘇婕雅三藩市報道
