As a worker center in the Bay Area, we have different responsibilities and areas of focus. Although our main focus is organizing, we have several programs and services to support workers, including:
Outreach
We connect with workers throughout San Francisco and Oakland to inform them of their labor rights. We do outreach in English and Spanish, and with the support of members, we have also done outreach in various Maya languages and Mam!
Consultations
We provide free consultations to workers in San Francisco and the East Bay who want to learn about their workplace rights! TUWU does not provide legal consults, but we do provide accessible information and support workers in finding solutions to problems in the workplace. If workers come to us with questions about immigration, housing, or any other issue, we connect them to different organizations.
Access to Legal Aid at Work (LAAW) lawyers
We partner with LAAW to provide workers with access to lawyers at Legal Aid at Work who have experience with working with our community, and center workers as key decision makers throughout the worker’s adocacy process.
