Civic enforcement is a form of law enforcement which does not go through the court or official enforcement bodies. It includes shaming employers and job brokers who violate worker rights, and exposing employers who have been fined or charged for labour law violations. Its aim is to empower workers and encourage consumer action so as to prevent further rights violations.
