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.
