Workplace Fairness Information

Workplace Fairness is a non-profit organization working to preserve and promote employee rights. Workplace Fairness believes that fair treatment of workers is sound public policy and good business practice, and that free access to comprehensive, unbiased information about workers' rights —without legal jargon— is an essential ingredient in any fair workplace. Our vision is to create a global workplace in which: individuals are valued and accorded dignity and respect; where organizations who promote fair business practices thrive and; where there is socioeconomic system based upon sound public policy that fosters sustainable success. Workplace Fairness was founded in 1994 as the National Employee Rights Institute (NERI). The name of the organization was changed in 2001 to reflect our effort to link the knowledge and work of employment rights attorneys with that of non-legal organizations and other individuals who are concerned with issues of fairness in the workplace. Working together, professionals and citizens concerned with issues of workplace fairness more effectively build community awareness of workplace issues and promote progressive changes in employment law, policies, and practices.
