Wage Claim Program
When low wage workers have an experience of nonpayment from their employers, they do not have many alternatives to seek assistance.
The wage claim program focuses on going after unscruplous employers by creating an environment where workers with wage problems come together in unity to identify and find solutions by themselve through a collective process.
El Centro offers an unique place where workers and organizers from El Centro work together in unity to relcaim nonpaid wages from predatory employers. El Centro's community partner, the University of Denver, Colleage of Law, has provided legal assistance and research to support our efforts. Day laborers and low-income workers use our legal program to receive advice, legal representation when problems arise (i.e. unpaid wages), to learn about collective action and workers' rights.
The Wage Claim program is held every Wed. night at 6:00 P.M. For more information, please call 303.292.4115 ext.101 or email jorrantia@centrohumanitario.org.
