How do I organize for emoloyee rights at my work?

Asked by ryank (15) December 7th, 2006

I work as an intern at a charter school and I'm considering organizing with the other interns to get better treatment. Where can I get advice in the San Francisco Bay Area? Are sick-outs legal? How many hours can an emloyer legally ask you to work if you're full-time? Do we run the risk of being fired? If you have advice or resources / organization you could send me it would be well appreciated. I don't want to lose my hob, but something needs to change.
