Employers who violate the legal rights of their low wage employees deprive local economies of millions of dollars, strain community resources and unfairly compete with businesses that comply with the law. This program highlights the community benefits of legal compliance and the strategies utilized by advocates for low wage and immigrant workers to enforce and protect their legal rights, including legislative and political advocacy, litigation, organizing, and direct action campaigns.
