I don’t often find myself wanting to quote Thomas Jefferson, particularly when he’s talking about slavery, but on this bit, he had a point.

CEJ- Advocates in the Workplace
The balance of power in the workplace has long favored employers, making justice an uphill battle for employees facing unfair treatment. Legal costs, complex regulations, and employer tactics often deter workers from asserting their rights. The Center for Employment Justice (CEJ) was founded to change this—empowering employees through fearless advocacy and strategic legal action. Justice is more than settlements; it’s about vindicating rights, protecting dignity, and driving systemic change. With deep expertise in employment law, we counter employer roadblocks and ensure financial barriers don’t stand in the way. Every employee who fights back strengthens protections for all, and at CEJ, we relentlessly pursue fair outcomes, change lives, and reshape workplace law.

From the title onwards this is a wonderful example of how great flash holds so much more than its word count suggests.
