Philly’s workers-rights office has gone from backwater to heavy hitter in just a few years

Philadelphia’s Office of Worker Protections recovered $328,000 for workers, more than double what it achieved the year before.

Workers attended "Philly Workers Fight Back" in November 2023 to share stories of retaliation by their employers, a major reason workers don't report labor law violations to the government. The event was hosted by the PA Domestic Workers Alliance and other Office of Worker Protections community partners.
