Join us for a bi-lingual presentation and Q&A with First Shift Justice Project, which empowers workers in low wage jobs to exercise their rights related to caregiving and parenting

First Shift Justice Project serves caregiving workers by using a preventive, client-centered approach to reach families, educate them about their rights, and enable them to exercise their rights without shame. By educating and supporting working parents to assert their rights before they lose their jobs or their workplace stress becomes untenable, First Shift helps them safely maintain their employment, their health and their family commitments. 

Folks who attend will learn: 

  • What is job protected leave from work?

  • What is FMLA? What is the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA)?

  • What are your rights around pregnancy accommodations?

First Shift Justice Project sirve a los cuidadores mediante el uso de un enfoque preventivo y centrado en el cliente para llegar a las familias, educarlas sobre sus derechos y permitirles ejercer sus derechos sin vergüenza. Al educar y apoyar a los padres que trabajan para que hagan valer sus derechos antes de que pierdan sus empleos o su estrés laboral se vuelva insostenible, First Shift les ayuda a mantener su empleo, su salud y sus compromisos familiares. 

Las personas que asistan aprenderán: 

  • ¿Qué es el permiso laboral protegido?
  • ¿Qué es la FMLA? ¿Qué es la Ley de Equidad para las Trabajadoras Embarazadas (PWFA)?
  • ¿Cuáles son sus derechos en relación con las adaptaciones para el embarazo?
