Denise knows about LAANE from past campaigns. She consults with the lead organizer she knows about what she can do. LAANE explains the worker rights and employer responsibilities that apply. They help her prepare to talk to the employer by sharing tips such as stating demands clearly and respectfully, having a witness if possible, and documenting what is happening. They also review what the employer’s responses may be and how to deal with them.
Denise and LAANE staff /volunteers talk to other workers about health risks from COVID-19 and what they can do. Workers are informed that if they are retaliated against, LAANE will support them by doing a delegation to the employer or using other strategies.
