Emily Schott Hood

I entered the working world as a restaurant server, and waited tables all through high school and college. Working as a young woman in that industry I experienced sexual harassment and wage theft. I know first-hand what it’s like to feel powerless at work. To me, “worker’s rights” means fair treatment, living wages, and workplaces free of harassment. I became a lawyer so that I could stand alongside clients who are fighting to get what they deserve from their employers, and to contribute to the movement for worker’s and labor rights.
