FAQ  |  Board Members

The Workers' Rights Board is a public forum where workers can bring complaints against employers for violating their rights in the workplace. The Board is particularly concerned with protecting the rights of low wage workers, who are often women, immigrants, young workers, and workers of color, as they strive for justice in their workplaces.

The Board is composed of community leaders who intervene with employers and the public to help resolve situations that threaten workers' rights. The Board believes that safe, living wage jobs, where workers are not discriminated against for speaking up for their rights, are the back bone of a healthy community.

To accomplish its goal the Workers' Rights Board will attempt to resolve issues in a variety of ways. Workers' Rights activities may include:

  • Meeting with employers who have been accused of violating workers rights or resisting efforts of workers to have a voice on the job.
  • Holding public hearings or press conferences
  • Supporting and stregthening the democratic rights of workers of working people, including the right to organize, through community education.
  • Establishing community standards about fairness in the workplace and corporate responsibility.
