Labor On The Move: CSA's Jenna Gold & DC EJC's Sally Abrahamson

(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.
