We fight to ensure that all workers are afforded equal and fair treatment pursuant to local, state, and federal laws. Our staff and Board believe that work and workplace conditions are critical social determinants of health and that employment is essential to self-sufficiency, affords dignity, and facilitates civic engagement. LAAW acts on these principles through a variety of strategies, including: conducting targeted community outreach and education, building the capacity of grassroots organizations, medical service providers, and community-based partner organizations around California to understand and advocate for their rights on the job and beyond. providing brief legal advice and counsel to low-wage workers through in-person legal clinics and legal telephone helplines engaging in strategic litigation to both improve the law for w false false 3843566 40271 854909 In 2018, Legal Aid at Work (LAAW) and our co-counsel obtained a $1,000,000 settlement for clienta dairy worker who had experienced egregious immigration-related retaliationafter making powerful new federal case law that protects countless undocumented workers from retaliation at the hands of third parties acting in their employers interest.LAAW also launched our 12th Workers Rights Clinic site in Los Angeles in collaboration with the Los Angeles Black Worker Center and UCLA School of Law, with a special focus on providing legal services to workers fighting race discrimination. Each year our statewide network of clinics and helplines serves over 3,000 vulnerable low-wage workers throughout California. LAAW continues to aggressively pursue wage theft violations in sectors where it is particularly prevalent, including the construction, caregiving, janitorial, and restaurant industries. In 2018 alone, we have secured approximately $2,500,000 in settlements and awards for low-wage workers experiencing wage theftan especially significant amount for our clients, many of whom are living paycheck to paycheck, and sending a strong signal to would-be violators of the severe consequences of engaging in this illegal practice.LAAW also continues to fight for equal transit access for persons with mobility disabilities in our class action against BART, along with co-counsel at Disability Rights Advocates. Our clients rely on BARTs transit services but are unable to access them because of filthy elevators soiled by human waste, non-working escalators, broken service gates, and other consistent failures in the system.LAAW filed a class action lawsuit against the state of Hawaii Department of Education for Title IX athletics violations at the largest school in the state with co-counsel from the ACLU of Hawaii and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. Because Hawaii has a unique statewide school district structure, this single case has the potential to result in systemic change throughout the entire state, if not the country. 3843566 true true
