Worker power changes everything.
Fair Work Center is rebranding to Working Washington Rights Center, and our new website is under construction to better reflect the work we do every day: supporting workers, strengthening labor standards, and advancing economic justice.
The new website will make it easier to learn about our work and our history, and better reflect how the work we do connects to our sister organization, Working Washington.
The World Cup is right around the corner, and workers in Washington are preparing for rampant labor violations and increased ICE presence. Join an upcoming event to learn how we are fighting back.
Monthly supporters help sustain our movement in the long run — funded by workers, for workers.
