It's your right to fight for justice...It's the law!

Under federal law, you have the right to:
​

•  Participate
in meetings to discuss improving things in the warehouse

•  Distribute,
read and discuss WWOC literature (in non-work areas during breaks or before and after your shift)

•  Wear
buttons, stickers or T-shirts supporting efforts to win justice in the warehouse

•  Demand
that management fix problems in the warehouse through petitions or other activities

•  Protest
unfair treatment as a group and speak out publicly for change
Under the law, your employer can’t:

•  Harass or Discriminate
against workers who stand up for their rights in the warehouse.

•  Fire 
or threaten to fire, write-up, or cut the hours of an employee because they support justice in the warehouse.  

•  Ask
your opinion of WWOC or about your efforts to improve things in the warehouse

•  Close
or threaten to close the warehouse or take away benefits or privileges in order to discourage organizing activity


The National Labor Relations Act Says: 

 “Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or bargain collectively through representation of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining...”  -  Section 7

“It shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer...to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 7...”  -  Section 8(a)

​You have these rights whether you are a temp or a direct hire.  You have these rights regardless of immigration status.  Your best protection against violations of these rights is unity with your co-workers.  If you think that your rights have been violated, contact us immediately.
