The Social Justice Team invites you to join us for a two-hour in-person event at DUUF on Sunday, February 19, from 5 to 7 pm. We are partnering with the grassroots organization, Denton Worker, to provide this opportunity for participants to learn their worker rights, be able to ask questions of representatives of federal agencies tasked with enforcing workplace laws, and be assisted in starting the process of seeking justice. The program will be offered in Spanish and English. Dinner and childcare are free for participants.
Speakers from the Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, will describe a wide range of illegal workplace practices, so that audience members can learn if the ways that they are being treated by their employers constitute violations of federal law. In the second half of the program the federal agency representatives and trained members of the Denton Worker Organizing Committee will meet with workshop attendees individually to answer their questions and assist them with the process to report rights infringements.
If you cannot attend, visit the Denton Worker website for more information on your rights as a worker.
