Description

The Worker Justice Center of New York (WJCNY) will address how to recognize and combat wage theft, often faced by immigrant workers on the job. Together we will review common wage theft schemes, practical tips for preventing wage theft, legal protections for workers, and strategies for taking action to recover stolen wages. This workshop also provides staff with a preview to the Worker Justice Center's Wage Theft workshop in December for parents and Out-of-School Youth.
