Workers' Rights - Union or Not

The basics of workers’ right in the U.S. are drastically under-taught. From the right to organize to health & safety protections, U.S. workers need to know what they can expect from employers.

This training can focus on those rights, working through any number of specific topics including sexual harassment, family medical leave, discrimination, classification, wages, and workplace injury, to mention only a few.

The Center has produced two editions of the Washington State Workers’ Rights Manual, which is available for down load on this site. This manual can give you a sense of the broad spectrum of topics that can be covered in this training.

The more topics covered, the longer the training, but we would recommend that this training be no shorter than a ½ day. 206.934.6671
