About BCWS Legal Aid

Legal Aid Services & Support

BCWS provides free legal aid and counseling services for workers facing problems inside the factory

Common issues include wage theft, forced or unlawful termination, and non-payment of dues. BCWS’ legal department currently has three part-time lawyers. These lawyers help workers file labor dispute cases in the labor court for issues such as unpaid severance, overtime and violations of paid maternity leave policies. Workers can also use the BCWS office address for their legal dealings with the factories, which gives weight to the complaints and shields the workers from repercussions. BCWS lawyers provide mediation services that bring together factory lawyers, representatives, and the workers to discuss together and resolve disputes.
