Why this exists
This started with a simple gap: there was no free, private place for workers to understand their rights without handing their story to a law firm fishing for a client, or risking their employer seeing it. So we built one.
Workers’ Rights is a free platform helping employees understand their legal protections, document workplace issues, and connect with employment attorneys. Whether you’re dealing with discrimination, retaliation, wage theft, or unsafe working conditions, our goal is to give you the information and tools you need to protect yourself — with no ads, no upsells, and no catch.
What we are — and what we’re not
- Not a law firm. We don’t take cases or solicit you. These are educational tools; using them creates no attorney-client relationship.
- Not your employer. This platform is not built by, funded by, or sharing data with any employer or HR vendor. Your documentation is yours alone.
- We don’t sell your data. No data brokers, no ad networks, no tracking your story for resale. Your entries are encrypted in your browser.
- Free & independent. Always free for workers, and not affiliated with any government agency, law firm, or company.
What We Offer
- Rights Assessment — Answer a few questions to understand which federal and state laws may apply to your situation.
- Documentation Tools — Build a timeline, catalog evidence, and keep a private journal—all stored locally on your device.
- Court Rulings Database — Search 143,000+ employment law court rulings to find precedent relevant to your situation.
- Attorney Directory — Find employment attorneys near you from a directory of 9,000+ lawyers across the U.S.
- Law Updates — Monitor changes to federal and state employment laws that could affect your rights.
Data Sources
We aggregate publicly available legal information from trusted sources, including:
- CourtListener (Free Law Project) — court opinions and rulings
- NELA (National Employment Lawyers Association) — attorney directory data
- State Bar Associations — public licensing directories (always verify credentials directly; we do not independently verify attorneys)
- Google Places — attorney location and contact information
Privacy First
All data is encrypted and stored locally on your device. No account is required to use the core platform. We never sell or share your information. You maintain full control of your data at all times.
