A new bill, the Schedules that Work Act, has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and is co-sponsored by Congressman George Miller (D-CA).

Learn the latest about public policy and advocacy developments underway around the country. Get some tips about how different groups are organizing around scheduling issues and what framing strategies they are using in their advocacy work. Hear first-hand from a worker about an experience with a scheduling problem and possible solutions.
