Problems at Work? Dear David Can Help
Dear Abby’s got nothing on Dear David when it comes to navigating the workplace.
Dear David, Working America’s advice columnist, knows you deserve to be treated fairly on the job and he’s available to answer your questions, whether it is co-workers making off-handed comments that you should retire or you feel like your job's long hours are causing stress.
Dear David writes:
You deserve to be treated fairly, but we all know that it's not always clear what to do if you are not. It shouldn't have to be this way. Tell me what your questions are and what you're dealing with at work. I'm here to answer your questions.
The column is written by David Wehde, Working America’s organizing director. Working with the AFL-CIO’s Organizing Department, David hopes to address the many challenges people face in the workplace. The column will offer an empathetic ear, tips and tricks to deal with the issues and links to other resources. The column also will remind workers they do not face these challenges alone, that collective action in a workplace can offer real solutions.
The site, which went live today, is located at WorkingAmerica.org/DearDavid. Anyone can submit questions, union member or not.
