This scheme provides free legal advice to help workers manage disputes and understand their rights in the workplace.
Who it's for
This program is available to all employees. If you are currently working and facing a labor-related issue, you may be eligible for support.
What you get

The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is the limit on the program's reach. This scheme only covers issues that fall under federal jurisdiction. If your labor dispute is a state-level issue, this specific program cannot assist you, and you will need to contact your local state boards instead.

- Visit the official government portal to find contact details for the agency.
- Use the information on the portal to reach out to the agency regarding your dispute.
