Overview
In this current time when relative minimum wages are falling international trade is depressing wages and welfare reform is pushing women into low wage jobs employers have adopted subcontracting and temporary employment strategies often hiring immigrant workers. In response to these shifting economic and employment trends there is a critical need for immigrant workers to protect themselves. The Northwest Worker s Justice Program provides high quality legal services organizing assistance and trainings to protect the rights of low wage immigrant and contingent workers mitigate the effects of international trade and build partnerships with labor unions and other non traditional funders of legal services.
