IRS990/Desc0In 2021 the EJC assisted over 791 low-income working people needing employment rights legal aid - ranging from advice and counsel on employment matters to complex federal court litigation. In 2021, EJC recovered over $600,000 in unpaid wages and employment rights compensation. EJC conducted its employment law practice mainly through an innovative cyber-law-practice, due to the COVID-19 shutdown of law offices and courts to in-person operations during most of 2021.
