From Nashville Homeless Power Project:

We're pleased to announce that the owners of Shur Brite Car Wash are now talking with elected workers, NHPP, and Mid TN Jobs with Justice, about making a more just work site beyond the minimums of the law. Workers have wanted their respect and dignity uplifted by having a written schedule, a break room, vacation days and other changes that would not be possible without organizing combined with legal work. In last weeks meeting, owners have agreed to co-write an employee handbook with NHPP and Jobs with Justice, consider building a break-room, and address many of the concerns of their workers. The entirety of the 120 workers signed up for the lawsuit plan to meet next Monday, and discuss more specifics. While negotiations are not complete, NHPP is cautiously optimistic that an agreement can be made involving both back wages, and future changes for the workers
