Provide information to low-wage workers about their rights on the job, as renters, and as consumers. Our attorneys also represent low-wage workers (or help them secure outside counsel) when their rights have been violated. Low-wage workers can access our services by calling our legal help hotline and/or by attending our legal rights workshops. Low-wage workers who are experiencing harassment by debt collectors, abuse by a car dealership or finance company, shortages of their paychecks, discrimination on the job, denial of employment due to background checks, or problems with a landlord can seek assistance from us.

Agency info

HEARTLAND CENTER FOR JOBS AND FREEDOM

The Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom is a nonprofit organization that provides legal information and assistance to low-wage workers in the areas of employment, tenant, and consumer law. Low-wage workers are more likely than others to have their rights violated but less likely to have access to legal assistance. The Heartland Center is here to provide that much-needed support.
