An Advocate's Manual for Solving Employment Problems in Louisiana and Mississippi
“An Advocate's Manual for Solving Employment Problems in Louisiana and Mississippi” is a guide to help community members in Louisiana and Mississippi identify and solve employment problems. The Manual is designed to be used by both workers and social service providers and does not require any prior knowledge about employment law. We hope that the Manual will be an essential resource on employment issues for friends, family, workers, service providers, and the greater community.
