Federal prosecutors told a judge they had failed twice to secure an indictment against Sydney Lori Reid for allegedly assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE arrest.

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.
