Wednesday, July 20, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Jenna Gold (r), Job Development Coordinator for Community
Services Agency’s GSA
Building Futures Project, will move to part-time in August as she pursues her
post graduate degree in policy, planning and business at George Washington
University.
Sally Abrahamson (l)
is the new Staff Attorney at the DC Employment Justice Center. "I feel
passionately that people need to get paid for the work that they do," Abrahamson
says. She has replaced Lisa Guerra as bilingual Staff Attorney; Guerra is now
the EJC's Wage Theft Policy Attorney. Abrahamson received her J.D. in 2009 from
American University's Washington College of Law. After college, she taught in an
El Paso English-Spanish dual immersion school and before coming to the EJC, she
clerked for a Texas Federal Judge. As the EJC’s Wage Theft Policy Attorney,
Guerra will now focus on combating wage theft, drafting legislation, meeting
with District officials, organizing worker meetings, building coalitions, and
working with the Department of Employment Services (DOES) to reform the Office
of Wage and Hour.
