KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Workers have legal rights, and you can stand up for yourself at work!

We have teamed up with our southern sister ROC Asheville to host discussions on Facebook Live, where workers share their experiences organizing their workplaces and expert advocates explain the legal options that workers have and how to effectively fight for them.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: NLRA

The National Labor Relations Act protects our rights to join together and organize for better working conditions. This law protects any of us who speaks out on behalf of one or more of our coworkers against retaliation and intimidation.

We talk to experts in Tennessee and North Carolina to find out what our rights are as restaurant workers, and what to do if an employer is infringing on your rights. Ana Pardo and Carole Brooke from the North Carolina Justice Center and Kameron Dawson from A Better Balance go over what rights industry workers have and what workers can and should do if their employers are breaking the law.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: WAGE THEFT

For this iteration of our Know Your Rights series, we talk to labor attorneys and employees who have taken stands against wage theft and tell you what to do if you think you could be a victim of wage theft as well.

WORKPLACE ORGANIZING

Workers have rights, and they’re unfortunately violated way too often. If something is off in your restaurant, come talk with us and see what you and your coworkers can do to make your workplace better. We’re stronger together!
