We organize as workers: native-born and immigrant, documented and undocumented, from all backgrounds.
Now more than ever, people see the need to come together regardless of our race, immigration status, or type of work to fight the exploitation we face at the hands of the developers, sweatshop bosses, and corporate interests—aided by our government. We organize together in our workplaces and our neighborhoods to end the systemic racism and exploitation that gives rise to wage theft, 24-hour workdays, environmental racism and displacement.
Your contribution supports a movement of working people who envision control in our workplaces and communities, and control of our time—demands that unify us across race, trade, nationality, and immigration status. Thanks to supporters like you, we have been able to continue organizing workers for 30 years.
Our Membership Statement – Join Today!
I’m tired of long hours of overwork and underemployment; cheap-labor programs and unsafe conditions; and lack of recognition for such work as caring for one’s children or studying in school.
I will no longer stand by and allow my labor, loved ones, family, community and my health to be sacrificed to the global sweatshop system.
I will get together with others to build a movement for control over our time and our lives — the right to a 40-hour workweek at a living wage for all.
