Workers' Rights Board (WRB) start up letter and packet, 1999
Scope and Contents
Series 2 documents the activities of the Workers' Rights Board (henceforth WRB), a project started in 1999 by Jobs with Justice and composed of community, legal, political, faith, and academic leaders. WRB provides a public forum in which workers can bring complaints against employers for violating their rights. Materials are focused on WRB committee activities and include committee notes and agendas, annual meeting materials, and hearing reports. Materials are organized roughly by year and grouped by topic. Note that most Workers' Rights Board hearings and reports are included in Series 1 with the individual campaign files that can be found under employer names in sub-series 1.2.
