WHAT WE DO AND WHY WE DO IT

 

Too many Massachusetts workers lack meaningful access to justice.

  

• Most people do not understand workplace law or the legal process. 

• There are scarce affordable options for workers with most legal problems, especially those who need help to stay employed.

• Low-income workers cannot afford to pay law-firm hourly rates, and most do not have attractive contingency-fee matters.

• Thousands file employment-related claims every year in Massachusetts without counsel.

  

 

To address these problems, we:

​

​

> offer information and guidance about workplace legal rights.

​

> provide self-help tools to workers navigating the legal system.

 

> collaborate with other organizations to provide or arrange additional services, when possible.

 

> offer community education.
