Low-wage workers often want to unite and organize to take a stand against workplace abuses. NWJP aids these workers in their efforts.

NWJP helps low-wage workers understand their rights and how to take action to improve their working conditions.

By hosting law students and new law graduates, and entering into co-counseling agreements with local attorneys, we help increase expertise and awareness of low-wage workers’ issues in the legal community.

We are bringing international law to bear in our own casework, building a worldwide network of attorneys and advocates who are exploring similar strategies, and looking for opportunities to invoke international law’s procedural mechanisms to focus attention on U.S. employment practices.
