We also advocate for employment laws and systems that empower low-paid workers and marginalized communities. false false 5731440 130000 250438 We helped two Central Valley dairy workers fight back against extreme exploitation. One was subjected, over several years, to abusive working conditions, unremitting racial slurs, and threats of deportation by his white supervisor, who carried a weapon and routinely took target practice at a Mexican flag. His partner was harassed and sexually assaulted by the same supervisor. After making a report to law enforcement, both were forced to flee with their young child after one of the owners fired a weapon near their employer-provided housing. With our involvement, we obtained a favorable settlement for them.We filed a nationwide class action with the Impact Fund and King & Spalding to help over 30,000 veterans discharged due to sexual orientation under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The lawsuit aims to remove indicators of sexual orientation from their discharge paperwork, upgrade their discharge status to Honorable, and grant access to vital veteran benefits they've wrongfully been denied.We fought to secure reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities who were impacted by COVID-19. For example, we obtained a favorable settlement on behalf of an office manager whose dedicated service of 15 years had abruptly ended because her boss fired her for requesting telework accommodations in the midst of the pandemic.We and our coalition partners were instrumental in passing California's SB 951, a transformative law set to benefit millions of workers with low wages by increasing Paid Family Leave and State Disability Insurance wage replacement rates to 90% for workers with middle-to-low incomes. Effective in 2025, this change will especially impact workers of color and those in lower-income brackets, who were previously unable to afford what often amounted to a 40% pay cut in order to take leave.We filed a lawsuit on behalf of 17 strawberry pickers along with CRLA against industry giant Driscoll's and Seventh Tree Farm. This lawsuit serves as a significant step toward ending widespread wage theft in California's critical agricultural sector.We helped an African American bartender combat hair discrimination and racial bias at work. After she was forced to quit her job due to demeaning comments from her employer, we filed a complaint under the CROWN Act. Through mediation, we helped her recover significant lost wages and emotional distress damages. Critically, we also secured training and a new complaint system for the workplace to make sure that other workers did not have to endure similar racial harassment and discrimination.We provided individualized legal advice and counsel to over 3,000 workers in the past year, including through our 13 regular Workers Rights Clinic sites and additional evening clinics to meet increased client demand. We operate our clinics in close partnership with 8 law schools, 150 law students, 100 volunteer attorneys, and 11 community based organizations. 5731440 true true false true false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 72 0 true 57 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 73 73 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Ling Yuan 4158648848 180 Montgomery St Ste 600 SF CA 94104 Joan Graff President 35.00 0.00 X 225132 0 54784 Howard Chen VP HR 35.00 0.00 X 170541 0 79981 Christopher Ho Dir Origin Immg La 35.00 0.00 171789 0 65747 Kevin Clune VP Strategy 35.00 0.00 X 170307 0 45640 Elizabeth Kristen Dir Gend Eq LGBT 35.00 0.00 142517 0 59657 Ling Yuan VP Finance 35.00 0.00 X 166663 0 20237 Sharon Terman Dir.

LAAW requires subgrant recipients to sign a subgrant agreement that clearly outlines the terms and conditions of the grant, as well as the respective duties of each party involved. The grants often involve an agreement to provide referral services to Legal Aid at Work. We actively monitor the number of referrals, joint trainings, and outreach efforts conducted under the grant. All relevant records are maintained in our Salesforce database. Our Program staff regularly check in with subgrantees to jointly perform services under the grants, ensuring that the work aligns with the grants objectives. Subgrantees are also required to assist with final reporting to the main grantor for all of these subgrants, ensuring full compliance with the grant's requirements.
