73
Hey, have you ever read any of these signs?
74
to anonymously report unsafe conditions at this work site, call 311.
75
Anonymously?
76
That means you don't have to give your name, right?
77
What if you want to...
78
You report that your boss didn't pay you.
79
Can you call 3 -1 -1 anonymously?
80
You asked me if I ever got ripped off on a job.
81
The company we work for right now ripped me off.
82
Me too.
83
I was sick for a few days.
84
I asked for sick leave, but the company didn't give it to me.
85
Me too.
86
Sick leave, what's that?
87
In New York City, if you're sick, you don't have to go to work.
88
But you still get paid.
89
It's called paid sick leave.
90
I don't know all the rules.
91
But my friend told me it's for workers without a union contract.
92
Like us.
93
But what if your company doesn't give you paid sick leave?
94
What do you do?
95
Let's call that number.
96
3 -1 -1.
97
You guys try it.
98
Tell me what you find out.
99
I have to pick up my son at school.
100
Okay.
101
Okay.
102
I'm king of the animals!
103
Roar!
104
Excuse me, Mr Lion.
105
Can you be a little choir?
106
Why?
107
I'm a lion.
108
That's how I talk.
109
I, I, I forgot my words.
110
Your line is, I have a voice too.
111
Let's practice it.
112
I have a voice too.
113
Great.
114
They're practicing their lines.
115
Lionel is one of our stars.
116
Let's continue.
117
I have a voice too.
118
I have a voice too.
119
Me too.
120
Me three.
121
Let me hear your voices!
122
Roar!
123
Roar!
124
Roar!
125
Roar!
126
so what did they tell you they said
127
we can get help from DCA the Department of Consumer Affairs
128
they have a special office for workers rights they told me the same thing they said we could
129
or file a complaint online, or do it on the phone?
130
They, uh, said we can go to the DCA office, too.
131
And you don't need an appointment.
132
Hmm.
133
Maybe going there is a good idea.
134
We can speak to somebody face to face. But when?
135
I have no idea.
136
Next Wednesday.
137
Our construction site will be closed for an inspection.
138
Let's go then.
139
Yeah.
140
We'll work together to solve your problem.
141
And if you want an interpreter in your language, let me know.
142
In New York City, workers in companies with five or more employees have the right to pay sick leave.
143
That's us.
144
You can start using your sick leave after four months.
145
And if someone in your family is sick, for example, your wife or your child or your parent, you can use your sick leave.
146
You can stay home and take care of them and still get paid.
147
Our company didn't give us paid sick leave.
148
We'll help you get it.
149
The company owes you that money.
150
We don't have a union contract.
151
Are we protected?
152
We don't want to lose our jobs.
153
The company is not allowed to fire you for getting help from DCA.
154
It's against the law.
155
I have another problem.
156
My old company didn't pay me for the last two weeks that I worked there.
157
They ripped me off two full weeks of pay.
158
That is called wage theft.
159
The company is required by law to pay you for every hour that you work.
160
I have another question.
161
My wife wears a hijab
162
She's starting a new job
163
Is that a problem?
164
No It is not.
165
It is illegal for employers to discriminate against workers because of religion.
166
And workers like your wife, or anyone, have the right to wear their religious clothing.
167
The workers' bill of rights.
168
That's right.
169
Workers in New York City have rights.
170
And it doesn't matter if you have immigration papers or not.
171
this is good this is what i need do you want
172
to file a complaint we'll contact the company to get your money we should file a complaint
173
if you want to talk it over and decide that's fine when you are ready we are here to help
174
so what do you guys think do you want to file a complaint
175
or speak with Marco I think we should file a complaint
176
I think we should speak to Marco first maybe the company doesn't know the rules
177
I think they know the rules what do you think about speaking to some other workers if more of us tell
178
Marco what we know.
179
Maybe he tell the owner.
180
What do you think Rolando?
181
Yeah basically it's for home health days like you do.
182
I see.
183
Also nannies, house cleaners, all domestic workers.
184
The rules are a little different.
185
Let's see what this is.
186
I mean, you sound sick man, you should be at home resting.
187
I cannot afford it.
188
With paid sick leave, you can stay home and you still get paid.
189
I don't want to make any trouble.
190
My wife is pregnant.
191
I don't want to lose my job.
192
It's your right, Patel.
193
You mean, if someone in my family is sick, paid sick leave covers that, too?
194
Mm -hmm.
195
That's right.
196
I think speaking as a group is a good idea.
197
Why aren't you dressed for work?
198
Sylvia, do you ever think about leaving?
199
Leaving?
200
Going back.
201
We made a decision.
202
We came here, worked hard, built a family.
203
This is our home now.
204
Love you.
205
What did you decide?
206
I'm going to show you the documents we got from DCA to my old foreman.
207
What are you going to say to him?
208
Let's practice it.
209
What?
210
You'll be the boss and I'll play myself, Orlando.
211
Okay, I've never been a boss before.
212
You'll be a good one.
213
Thanks.
214
Go ahead.
215
I'm listening.
216
What do you want, Rolando?
217
I've already listened to you.
218
I'm a very busy man.
219
I only need a couple of minutes of your time and I won't bother you anymore.
220
Okay.
221
You have two minutes.
222
Talk to me.
223
Look, it's my money.
224
I worked for it and you can't take it.
225
You were sick.
226
I needed a worker.
227
I had no choice.
228
I had the flu.
229
You can't fire me for that.
230
I have the right to paid sick leave
231
and I have the right to all of the money
232
that I earned before I got sick too I'm not the boss of this company I only work
233
and I do what I'm told.
234
Rolando, the foreman is here.
235
You came break earlier today.
236
Great, thanks.
237
Thanks, Mom.
238
Jose, I need to talk to you for a minute.
239
Rolando, you don't work here anymore.
240
I've worked for this company for five months.
241
I have a right to paid sick leave, and I have a right to receive all of the money that I worked for.
242
Look, Rolando, I'd like to help you.
243
But there's nothing I can do.
244
I'm not the boss.
245
Can you talk to him again?
246
I'm gonna try.
247
I can't guarantee anything.
248
I'll give you a call.
249
Thank you.
250
Marco, we want to tell you that we know about paid sick leave.
251
That's right.
252
We don't want to cause trouble.
253
We just want to take care of ourselves.
254
And our families.
255
Don't waste your time.
256
Boss doesn't care.
257
Maybe he would care if he knows that we can file a complaint with DCA.
258
Then he would have to pay us.
259
Plus fines.
260
Penalties.
261
And we know that he is not allowed to fire us.
262
We are protected by the law.
263
That's right, Marco.
264
We know our rights.
265
All right, I will show this to the boss, but I don't think he cares.
266
Hey, Silvia.
267
Hi.
268
Hey.
269
So the foreman at the old job said that he would talk to the boss.
270
That's a good sign, but it's good to have another plan.
271
I'll wait a few days.
272
If they don't do anything, I know what to do.
273
Oh, yeah.
274
Delando.
275
We've decided that we are going to file complaints with DCA.
276
We're tired of waiting.
277
I haven't heard anything from my old farmer, neither.
278
You should file a complaint, too.
279
I already have.
280
Roar.
281
I can't roar.
282
Don't worry, Leonel.
283
You'll get your voice back soon.
284
Dear, I'm going to stay with you.
285
I called my agency, and they said it's fine.
286
I've been working there a long time so they said I can stay home and I'll get paid.
287
Next time it'll be my turn after I've been with the company longer than we win our fight.
288
Listen everybody, before you leave I have something important to tell you.
289
You were Right.
290
Everyone who works for this company, 120 days or more, gets paid sick leave.
291
In New York City, it's the law.
292
And it's good for the company to have healthy workers.
293
I have this information about paid sick leave.
294
I'm going to post it by the entrance and outside my office.
295
We deserve it.
296
Yeah, it's our right.
297
We build this city.
298
We'll be right back.
299
We'll be right back.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
