Workplace Fairness is a public education and advocacy organization, originally founded in 1994 as the National Employee Rights Institute.

Workplace Fairness states its mission as follows: "Our goals are that workers and their advocates are educated about workplace rights and options for resolving workplace problems, and that the policy makers, members of the business community, and the public at large view the fair treatment of workers as both good business practice and sound public policy. "

Workplace Fairness is known for its web pages about job rights. PC Magazine named it as one of the 100 websites you can't live without. The web site has articles on dozens of employment law issues including overtime, discrimination, retaliation, privacy and whistleblower rights.

"Today's Workplace: It's Everybody's Job" is a blog by Paula Brantner, Workplace Fairness's Program Director. It features daily updates on employee rights and fairness issues. Forbes Magazine listed it as one of the "Best of the Web" in 2005.

Workplace Fairness publishes books on employee rights, the rights of federal employees in the United States, and the Employee Rights and Employment Policy Journal.

Workplace Fairness also provides information about workplace-related issues and the ability to respond to action alerts. Free daily and weekly electronic mailing lists provide the public with the latest news about employee organizing, legal developments in employment law, and trends in the labor market.
