Workplace Fairness is collecting worker stories from around the country to inspire and highlight the need for the education of workers and employers on legal rights in the workplace. When we know our rights, we are instilled with the power to use our voices to make positive change and advocate for ourselves and others at work.
Have you experienced an injustice while at work but didn’t know how to advocate for yourself or a coworker?
Have you ever been able to invoke your rights during a difficult situation at work?
Do you have an employer who prioritizes it’s employees and encourages the use of self-advocacy?
We want to hear your story!
DISCLAIMER: Not all submitted stories will be featured. If your story is chosen, a member of our team will contact you. Stories must be true and employer names will NOT appear in the final product. If you would like your story to be anonymous, please indicate this in question two.
