Legal Aid at Work
Legal Aid at Work promotes the rights and economic self-sufficiency of low-wage workers and marginalized communities through free legal services, education, and advocacy at the local, state, and national level. Using the law as a tool, we help low-wage workers create the best possible future for themselves and their families. As one of the few legal aid organizations providing direct community legal services as well as representation in court, impact litigation, and policy advocacy, we address the full spectrum of employment-related issues for our clients including: -- Unpaid minimum or overtime wages; -- Denial of medical / family leave; -- Denial of disability accommodations; and -- Discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, immigration status, language, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Legal Aid at Work focuses on six program areas: disability rights; gender equity; national origin, immigration, and language rights; racial equality; wage and hour enforcement litigation; and community legal services. We help our clients and our community by providing a wide range of services, including limited and full legal representation; pre-litigation resolutions; representation before administrative and governmental entities; expert testimony before legislative bodies; and technical support.
