Excerpts from the book »

A basic overview of the legal protections for workers under California and federal law, written in understandable language, designed for use by workers and those who represent them.

"One of the most useful books California workers will ever encounter…Union stewards, advocates, leaders and working people will find the answers to hundreds of burning questions. California Workers' Rights always reminds me of how hard we fought for these rights, and why we must continue to defend them."

-Art Pulaski, Executive Secretary-Treasurer
California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO
