  THE ISSUES  

Alternative Dispute Resolution
The privatization of workplace justice has the potential to bring benefits to employees, but the system must be voluntary and fair.

Drug Testing
Random drug testing is not only an invasion of privacy but it does little to make the workplace safer or more productive.

Electronic Monitoring
Your employer may be watching and recording all your activities at work.

Genetic Discrimination
Employers have access to genetic information and can use it to discriminate against applicants and current employees.

Lifestyle Discrimination
Should employers be able to regulate the legal off-duty activities of their employees?

Medical Privacy
Should your employer have access to sensitive medical information?

Plant Closings/Mass Layoffs
Employees are entitled to notice when their company shuts down or conducts a major layoff. But most people don't receive it.

Right to Organize
Freedom of association is among the most fundamental of workplace human rights.

Whistleblower
Could you lose your job for notifying the proper authorities that your employer is violating the law?

Wrongful Discharge
You can lose your job for reasons that are unjust, arbitrary or simply non-existent.
