609-683-0313; fax, 609-683-1787.

This office, formerly a part of the American Civil Liberties Union,

has broken off from that institution and taken a name that more

accurately reflects its role.

Jeremy Gruber, legal director, says that "we had grown to the point

where we had felt we could become our own organization." The

Workrights Institute focuses exclusively on labor

and employment rights issues. Among its recent accomplishments:

Helping to pass a genetic discrimination

bill in Michigan, which provides protection to all individuals from

anyone who would try to use genetic

informaiton against them.

Adds Gruber: "We are the leading organization in the country that does

work on workplace privacy issues, and one of the only organizations in

the country that does work on Internet E-mail privacy." As for the

ACLU, he says, "we’re still cooperating, but we’re not technically

affiliated with them."
