Let’s Work Together...
This guide will give you an overview of many of the laws and programs that affect Maine workers. Here you can get information about your rights on the job and about programs that may help you find affordable health care coverage, education and training opportunities, quality child care and tax relief.
We are grateful to workers and advocates from around the state who have given their input on this project. We’ve tried to answer the questions we hear most often.
Although this guide probably won’t answer all your questions, you can use the resources at the end of each section to learn more. And we hope you will contact us at 1-866-626-7059 or [info AT mejp DOT org] if you have questions or have ideas on ways to improve the guide.
In Maine, we have improved worker protections and programs by working hard together. We hope you will join our efforts so that we can continue to help improve the lives of working Mainers.
Thank you.
