Hosted by Economic Policy Institute on Zoom

Join us for a panel discussion on how criminal prosecutions protect workers’ rights and ensure a level playing field for law-abiding employers.

Speakers will share ways prosecutors and worker organizations can build relationships and work together to improve workplace enforcement.
