Our Center for Law and Work published a major study, The DNA of Worker Rights: Key Building Blocks of California’s Model Framework of Wage and Hour Standards. Written by Director Christina Chung, with financial support from the James Irvine Foundation, it examines the rights, responsibilities, and enforcement of California wage and hour law. A valuable resource for lawyers and policymakers, the report shows how California is a model for other states seeking to address poverty among the working poor, and proposes ways that California law can be strengthened.
