Raise The Floor Alliance

Raise the Floor Alliance (RTF) is a Chicago based non-profit and legal clinic whose mission is to ensure that low-wage workers have access to quality jobs and are empowered to uphold and improve workplace standards. RTF provides free and direct legal assistance to low-wage workers in the greater Chicago area and surrounding suburbs in the area of employment law. Additionally, RTF provides legal expertise which informs and advances policy development and campaigns. RTF also undertakes strategic cases to test the gaps in the current law and enforcement. RTF also achieves its mission by providing research, communications, policy, organizing and legal support for efforts to win public and private policy changes that raise the floor for all workers. Both an alliance and a support center, RTF brings area worker centers together into a collective voice for economic policies that foster permanent, full-time family-supporting work.
