Get It in Writing

About this book

From Attorney Ryan, the most well-known labor lawyer in America, the complete guide to workers' rights that your boss doesn't want you to read Life for working people is getting harder and more expensive. While employers clamp down with return-to-office mandates, productivity trackers, and layoffs, employees are struggling to keep up with daily expenses. Meanwhile, workers are expected to make huge sacrifices "for the good of the company." But what do they get in return? A surprise meeting with HR followed by a swift and unceremonious termination. For too long, we've accepted the status quo. But you deserve better. In Get It in Writing, Attorney Ryan Stygar, a former firefighter who became a workers' rights attorney, teaches you everything you need to know about how to get what you're owed at work. Each chapter is filled with practical, easy-to-understand advice. In plain English, he breaks down the answers to all your biggest questions around labor law, including: "Does At Will employment really mean I have no rights?" "What do I do if my boss is bullying me?" "What if I'm too injured to keep working?" "Am I getting paid correctly?" "What if I report my creepy manager and no one believes me?" Most people are, understandably, afraid to deal with employment problems because their whole livelihood is at stake. But we can't let bad bosses use fear to control us. Armed with Get It in Writing, you will have the tools to claim your basic rights: fair pay, fair treatment, and the time and accommodations you need when life goes off script. With Attorney Ryan's expertise, millions of working people are winning back what is rightfully theirs. It's time for you to join them.
