[Vannessa Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Your Rights in the Workplace is a book that should be read in middle school, in high school and then used as a reference read throughout everyone’s working life.

What I liked about the book is how author Barreiro cover everything we need to know to navigate the legal system concerning employment. Everything was explained in a language readers can understand.

[Robert · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a page turner, but necessary information to know. The earlier the better.

[Mrs. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a treasure trove of information, all in one place. The biggest weak point, I think, is that it does not cover state or federal workers, or those in the military. Otherwise, and great resource.

Quite informative.
