This
site is union-based and is very good. It provides information on
your rights. Some examples are: 1) what to do when you are being
harassed by your employer or co-workers; 2) what to do if you are
being discriminated against because of age, gender, immigrant status
or sexual orientation; and 3) what to do if you are denied overtime
pay.

OSHA
stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It
is a government agency that provides detailed information on your
rights related to physical safety on the job. For example, if you
have to work with toxic chemicals and your employer hasn’t given
you information about the dangers and how to protect yourself, this
site can help. It can teach you about your rights and what steps
to take to protect yourself. It can also give you information about
how to speak out and get help if you’re discriminated against for
speaking out.

that you can call if you need more assistance. |
