Representing Louisiana Workers

Litigation and Legal Services

We litigate claims to improve workers’ economic outcomes by promoting access to, and fairness in the courts.

We represent workers who have had their employment rights violated under federal, state and/or administrative laws. Our practice area includes discrimination, retaliation, and harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, wage claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Louisiana Wage Payment Act, breach of contract, civil service, unemployment benefits and other civil law claims that may arise as a result of a workplace violation.

Outside of litigation, we also provide limited legal services, including consultations, claim and document review, and “Q&A” access, where workers can email or call-in to ask questions about workplace rights.

Worker and Community Education

Through our education resources and workshops, we train workers on legal protections and raise awareness on their rights and responsibilities at the workplace. We develop legal education resources and workshops for youth and adults, specific to workers’ backgrounds, experience levels, sectors, and industries

Policy and Advocacy

We raise awareness on key policy issues that impact Louisiana workers and their families. We support economic equity through policy research and advocacy for meaningful wages, paid sick leave, and protections that challenge discrimination, among others. These compliment stakeholder education on equity benchmarks, namely good jobs, collective action, and fair wages.
