WWJ Covid-19 Workshops

Like many others, WWJ has been grappling with the challenges brought forth by the COVID-19 crisis. As part of our years of work, WWJ has held ongoing know your rights workshops in the community. With COVID-19 we have had to cancel in person workshops, yet access to legal resources for workers is more important than ever. As part of our work to broaden these efforts, while maintaining social distancing, WWJ along with the Access to Justice network, the Raise the Floor Alliance, National Legal Advocacy Network and the Westside Justice Center will be hosting Facebook Live Workers Rights Workshops every Tuesday in June covering various legal topics. You can stream our workshops from the Warehouse Workers for Justice facebook page and the schedule for our events is the following:
  • Tuesday, June 2nd, 11am Accessing Unemployment During COVID-19, with Attorney Miranda Huber, Raise the Floor Alliance and Chris Williams, National Legal Advocacy Network
  • Tuesday, June 9th, 11am Workers Comp During COVID-19, with Attorney Jose Rivero, Cullen, Haskins and Nicohlson
  • Tuesday, June 16th, 11am, Sealing and Expungement Workshop, with Attorney Mark Birhanu, Raise the Floor Alliance
  • Tuesday, June 23rd, 11am, Workplace Rights & Organizing During COVID-19, with Attorney Miranda Huber, Raise the Floor Alliance and Chris Williams, National Legal Advocacy Network
  • Tuesday, June 30th, 11am, Fighting Workplace Discrimination, Attorney to be announced.
We plan to host these workshops on a regular basis as long as social distancing is recommended or required. Please invite and share our events with any who may be interested and if you have any questions email sandy@warehouseworker.org

WWJ Partners With Illinois Access To Justice Program To Provide Expungement Workshops

Warehouse Workers for Justice has partnered with Access to Justice Illinois and Prairie State Legal Services to teach workers how to expunge (remove) or seal their criminal backgrounds. Oftentimes, criminal backgrounds hold people back in the workforce forever and getting those records expunged or sealed can be life changing. In these workshop we provide clear steps and contact information to legal services, followed by a conversation about worker rights and how to enforce them. 

    If you're interested in attending a workshop on how to expunge your criminal record, fill out this form:
