In Their Words
Stories from workers we've walked beside.
FLAP gave me hope when I had none. They helped me recover wages I never thought I would see again, and treated me like family.
I learned my rights for the first time. Now I can stand up for myself and my coworkers without being afraid.
They didn't just help me — they listened. FLAP showed up when no one else would.
I was scared to come forward. FLAP made me feel safe and protected. Now my family is in a much better place.
