Fighting For Your Best Interest

Episode 15: Labor and Labor Rights of the Muslim Community with Atty. Mahir Nisar

Muslim employees are highly visible targets of discrimination.

They continue to endure the issues and problems in the workplace that their religion, race, and national origin seem to generate which is fueled by sensational media attention on issues on terrorism.

The Muslim American community is a diverse community. A community that’s packed with talent, intelligence, and character that is valuable for any business but sadly, one of the most vulnerable to workplace injustices.

In line with its mission, CAIR New York interviewed Atty. Mahir Nisar about labor issues and labor rights impacting the American Muslim community.

The community needs to have sufficient tools, knowledge, and information to ensure all laborers practice their rights not only as an employee but also as an individual.
