Western Mass. Jobs with Justice & Co-Hosts

 

Jobs with Justice's mission is to improve working people's standard of living, fight for job security, and protect workers' right to organize. We believe workers' rights are human rights and to be successful, we have to be part of a larger campaign for economic and social justice.

To that end, Jobs with Justice has created a national coalition and a network of local coalitions that connect labor, community, student, and faith-based organizations and activists on workplace and community social justice campaigns. Our website, www.jwj.org, is a good introduction to the coalition.
