Today is Giving Tuesday–a day dedicated to giving back. Charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity during the holiday season.We hope you’ll join us for this special day of giving back. Your generous support helps us make a difference for workers like:
Sonica Smith
Sonica Smith, whom we helped to get the water and bathroom breaks she needed to stay healthy while pregnant and working the retail floor.
A security guard, who called us when his employer failed to pay him for a sick day under the New York City Earned Sick Time Act. Armed with our advice about his rights and backed by our promise of legal assistance, he went back to his employer and got paid what he was owed.
And millions of others who no longer have to make impossible choices between their jobs and their families, thanks to new laws we helped to enact guaranteeing paid sick leave, pregnancy accommodations and paid family leave in states and cities across the nation.
As one of our clients recently wrote:
“Knowing that organizations like ABB exist, I feel more confident in my role as a pregnant worker and a soon-to-be working mother. I am proud and relieved that I will able to excel in my growing career and also provide for my son who will be here in just a few months. I thank ABB for their incredible work and hope to help them to advocate for the rights of working parents long into the future.”
