Workers Defense Project

Employment and legal services: through Workers Defense employment legal services department we organize with Workers to support them in addressing workplace issues like wage theft, unsafe conditions, retaliation etc. We support them with the legal aspects of that work and ensure that those Workers stay involved in our larger work in support of worker justice in Texas. We train Workers on their labor rights so they have the tools to speak up for themselves and others at the job.

Better builder policy: program we work to highlight the dangers of the construction industry in Texas and work directly with developers or local governments to set high standards for worksites to ensure that Workers are safe at the job and have good benefits that allow them to support their families.

Organizing: organizing is at the heart of all of our work, but through the organizing department we work to increase our base of members, provide leadership trainings to our current members and together run issue campaigns that help to improve the lives of Workers and immigrants in Texas.

Emergency assistance: provided critical resources and assistance to high-risk Workers and community members impacted by the covid-19 pandemic.
