Mission:
To provide information, education, and assistance to individual workers and their advocates nationwide and promote public policies that advance employee rights.

Background:
Founded in 1994 as the National Employee Rights Institute, Workplace Fairness changed its name in 2001 to reflect its mission, which includes linking the knowledge of employment rights attorneys with that of "non-legal" organizations and other individuals concerned with issues of fairness in the workplace.

Outstanding Web Features:
Designed for workers, employers, advocates, policy makers, journalists, and anyone else who wants to understand, protect, and strengthen workers' rights, the Workplace Fairness site features information about job rights and employment issues nationally and in all fifty states. Visitors to the site can share their workplace story; search for an attorney by state, ZIP code, or expertise; learn more about their workplace rights; browse job survival tips; and read the organization's blog. In addition, the site features a state-by-state review of court cases related to workplace rights and a weekly digest of important court decisions.
