Program
1) Built Worker Center BarTo enhance the capacity of the low-wage worker movement, GLOW increased the legal support available to worker centers and their members throughout the country by establishing a Worker Center Bar. To this end, GLOW engaged the support of 35 private attorneys who agreed to provide pro bono legal support to worker centers serving low income communities. GLOW provided training and support for these volunteers on the Worker Center Bar and hosted monthly meetings. In addition, GLOW sponsored 18 law school interns to gain hands on experience of providing legal support to worker centers. 2) Engaging in Law & Organizing PartnershipsTo ensure that legal resources are being leveraged in support of the low-wage workers, GLOW partnered with 25 non-profit worker centers throughout the country to support their ability to defend the workplace rights of their constituencies. GLOW held trainings on workplace rights for the members of 15 organizations. In addition, GLOW held trainings and monthly office hours for the staff of 30 organizations to answer legal questions and provide support. 3)Enforcement of Workplace RightsGLOW assisted over 1,000 low income workers in filing…

67% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
