It has faded into history but back in 1946, coal miners walked off the job in the U.S. for months in the largest strike in U.S. history, forcing a government temporary takeover of the mines. The miners had a lot of gripes – from pay to safety. But what if such large concerns and even much smaller ones were quickly solved to everyone’s benefit?
Could there ever be a global workplace in which individuals were valued and accorded dignity and respect, where fair business practices thrived?
A Washington organization has those goals in mind. It’s called Workplace Fairness.
In this edition of Bizgnus Interviews, Workplace Fairness Executive Director Edgar Ndjatoutalks about the progress he sees toward those goals.

“We believe that every worker should understand their rights in the workplace,” Mr. Ndjatou says. “The workplace should be free of harassment, full of productivity and that people feel they have dignity when they go to work.”
Workplace Fairness was founded in 1994 as the National Employee Rights Institute. The name of the organization was changed in 2001 “to reflect our effort to link the knowledge and work of employment rights attorneys with that of non-legal organizations and other individuals who are concerned with issues of fairness in the workplace.”
Mr. Ndjatou’s previous experience includes practicing employment law for nine years, including co-managing his own law firm.
