Workers’ Rights

dacaAll workers, no matter where they were born, should be able to work free from fear that they will be underpaid or placed in a dangerous environment. Sadly, this isn’t the case for many low-income immigrant workers in this country. Through a variety of tactics, including know-your-rights trainings, policy analysis, and raids response, NILC defends the fundamental rights of all those working in the U.S.
