Versión En Español The D.C. Employment Justice Center believes all workers deserve fair treatment in the workplace. We empower low-income workers by providing high quality legal advice and assistance to low-income workers with employment law problems and by advocating for just workplace fairness laws. There is no stronger voice for low-income workers in the DC area than the EJC. Meet Rosa – Rosa is a native Spanish-speaker, who came to the EJC after she lost her job and applied for unemployment. The unemployment office questioned her immigration status, claiming she did not have proper identification, and sent her a benefits denial letter in English. Understandably, Rosa missed the short 10-day deadline to appeal the denial of her unemployment benefits. The EJC intervened and ultimately the decision was reversed and Rosa began collecting unemployment.
