The Employee's Friend

California workers' rights, in plain English.

Fired right after you spoke up? Tips vanishing? Rushed to sign a severance? If it feels wrong, it probably is — and the clock may already be running.

I'm Drew Pletcher. Nine years on restaurant floors, six owning a bar — I've seen workers shorted from both sides of the counter. So I picked a side: workers, only. 12 years as a California employment attorney with multiple appellate wins including at the Ninth Circuit. 

Straight answers on harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, discrimination, tips, breaks, overtime, severance — plus The Break, a weekly podcast timed to your rest break.
