| Worker centers are community-based mediating organizations that provide support to low-wage workers through service delivery, advocacy, and organizing. Services and advocacy may include legal representation to recover unpaid wages, English classes, worker rights education, providing access to health clinics, researching legislation working with government agencies to improve grievance processes, and loans. Organizing is directed at global/local issues such as sweatshops and linking student, community, and worker organizations internationally. | |
