Our Work

Economic Dignity

We aspire to a future in which all workers are treated with dignity and respect, and we work to shape the law to bring about that future.

Workplace Justice

Too often, employers violate workers’ rights and get away with it. We’re working to make it easier to enforce the law and get justice.

Future of Worker Advocacy

Many workers are able to get excellent advocates when they need it, but too many do not have access to justice. We need to strengthen the pipeline of worker advocates and make it more diverse.
