Outreach Program

We conduct workshops and trainings for youth (high school through ~ age 25) that address workers’ rights on the job, safety hazards present in jobs often held by young workers, and controls to prevent injury from those hazards.

We work with environmental justice organizations to identify occupational health and worker concerns in their neighborhoods and work to link their environmental demands to economic development demands.

We work with union stewards and other worksite leaders to help develop recognition of worksite hazards and controls, and to build a plan to engage in strategic enforcement of their rights to a safe workplace.

We work with worker organizations and enforcement agencies to develop strategies to navigate the complex obstacles to enforcement of worker rights.
