Women, know your rights at work!

CUP worked with the Legal Momentum and designer Vic Liu to create a fold-out poster in English and Spanish called Women, Know Your Rights! The guide breaks down workplace rights and protections in New York State that are often overlooked, including protections against gender-based discrimination. The guide explains rights workers have around discrimination, fair pay, safety, as well as the right to care for their family and loved ones.

The guide illustrates how women can change their circumstances by knowing and advocating for their rights, and the power of organizing with workers across other industries. With this information, women most impacted by exploitative employers, will be able to identify unlawful decisions and behaviors their employers might be making, reach out for support to understand what they can do, and ultimately change harmful situations happening at work.
