National Workrights Institute

The National Workrights Institute was founded in January 2000 by the former staff of the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Taskforce on Civil Liberties in the Workplace. The Institute’s creation grew from the belief that the workplace is a critical front in the fight for human rights and the belief that this effort required the creation of a new organization dedicated to human rights in the workplace. The Institute’s mission is to be the one human rights organization which commits its entire effort to workplace issues.
