Manage episode 423261524 series 3295843
This short episode is largely based on information gathered from the podcast interview with Jeremy Applegate, the chief of the Wage and Hour division for the State of Alaska Department of Labor, from May 6, 2024.

The plan is to release this short guide in Spanish, Tagalog, Hmong, Ukranian, and other languages so that non-English speakers will also have easy access to this information.
All workers in Alaska are entitled to fair pay and treatment under the law. Many workers are unaware of their rights, though, and this enables an employer to take advantage of them. The purpose of this podcast is to educate workers in Alaska about their rights to make sure that they are paid and treated fairly.
