Like many other worker centers, the Washtenaw County Worker Center conducts work in three primary areas:

• Organizing, Training, Leadership Development:  We provide organizing support to workers who need a place to come together and solve workplace problems such as issues related to pay, health and safety, and immigration status.  This area also includes training and rights promotion.

• Advocacy:  We aim to promote policies at the local and state level that will advance the cause of low-wage workers.

• Services:  We provide referrals to legal and other community resources. We have also created and help execute English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for local residents that involve teaching immigrants their rights as immigrants and in the workplace (see Community Resources page).
