Hunter Pyle honored as Advocate of the Year

May 1, 2024 https://www.wagejustice.org/

On May 30, 2024, Hunter Pyle will be honored in Los Angeles as the Wage Justice Center’s Advocate of the Year. The Wage Justice Center provides critical services to low income workers.

Over the past year, this work has focused on day laborers, who are navigating the underground economy of “work-for-hire relationships” – a type of informal employment that has existed for centuries. In Los Angeles, day laborers exemplify this age-old dynamic, where employer-worker relationships can be fraught with exploitation for those taking advantage of them. What advocates are hearing from these workers is that it’s often more work to fight for a week of unpaid wages than to simply move on and find another job, so they let it go, silently enduring injustice. This injustice is compounded by the fact that there is only a 17% chance of these workers actually recovering wages even after a favorable judgment.

The attorneys at HPL are proud to be associated with the Wage Justice Center and look forward to celebrating on May 30!
