RESPOND TO DISCUSSION
class and Professor,
In an ever-changing economy, one thing should never change: the right to be treated fairly in the workplace. Yet some companies and government institutions knowingly put their workers at risk by failing to ensure their safety, and others use deceitful means to take advantage of their employees, putting their rights in jeopardy. As globalization and the freelance economy re-imagine the definition of a workplace, it is more critical than ever that workers are legally protected from mistreatment. At Public Justice, we empower workers and unions to stand up to employers and help put an end to unfair labor practices.
Public Justice is using novel litigation strategies to protect workers and safeguard their rights. Working alongside unions and workers, our impact litigation team is winning key victories and waging critical battles on behalf of some of the country’s most vulnerable workers.

Workers’ Rights

LC 6 RESOND TO DISCUSSION
Hi Genero & Professor,
I’m encouraged that the NLRB still exists. As cited by Genero, some employers continue to put employees at risk. While some may ask the question, why don’t the employees just quit, it depends on the employees’ living conditions and the needs of their families or themselves and their skillset, knowledge, education or lack thereof.. Employers who exploit the desperation of peoples’ need to make a living are deplorable. With organizations such as the NLRB and Public Justice, employees have access to resources to protect themselves, financially, emotionally and physically. So yes, the NLRB is completely still relevant now more than ever. As was stated in last week’s lecture HR policies tend to be reactive as opposed to proactive and so organizations such as the NLRB have been created in reaction to the ill treatment of employees. Thinking back on working conditions in the earlier centuries and even now make me just sick. The fact there even needs to be organizations like the NLRB is a sad revelation, but so glad that it, and other like it, does exist.
LC 7 RESOND TO DISCUSSION
Hi Everyone,
First off I must admit that I have never been to the NLRB website, most of my knowledge base on these subjects comes from employee handbook and breakroom poster blurbs, random textbook references, and high school civics class. I think the information on the website is very valuable because it honestly lays out the laws and protections that all employees have the right to, not just ones in a union. It makes sense but I feel like before I didn’t think about those rights pertaining to individuals who weren’t part of a collective bargaining at all. To me, someone how wants to know the rights they have without asking others, going to HR, or other sources, can have it from the horse’s mouth essentially and be better equipped going into a labor situation that requires that knowledge.
I do believe that the NLRB is still relevant today, even though you don’t hear much about it in the news. You do, however, hear about employees fighting for their rights to unionize. Just in the last few years we have heard a lot about Starbucks, Trader Joes, various university member groups and others struggling to gain their rights. That is where the NLRB comes in and why they are still relevant. They are rolling back regulations and making it easier for employees to collectively bargain, even if we don’t hear that as being the reason why. We just hear this group or that group is wanting to form a union, but what makes it easier for them today is an organization helping set the groundwork for their success and more importantly evolving with the issues of today in order to stay relevant. I’ll post a link to a great article in The Nation from just last year that spells out some of their recent victories in helping works secure more rights.
