Programs: Workers' rights initiative - expanding worker organizing and bargaining - both collective bargaining through workplace campaigns and collective bargaining through legislative, policy, rulemaking and industry-wide interventions that advance worker demands and build worker organizations.
public discourse - as a national organization dedicated to implementing real change for workers and their families across the country, we recognize the importance and impact of intentionally influencing the public discourse on workers' rights, jobs, and the economy. We aspire to be a reliable voice on jobs and the economy by producing original research on key issues; engaging in the debate via traditional media and new media projects and analysis; and generating steady, timely popular education materials. We continue to identify and deploy scholars of various disciplines in support of organizing campaigns and advocacy efforts through funded research, media outreach, and expert advice. We also engage in advocacy efforts with policymakers at the federal, state and local levels to advance our social and economic agenda.
alliance building - we are a national network that is committed to building and nurturing a more powerful, visionary, and connected movement. Through our relationship building activities with other national networks, institutions and global partners, we aim to develop strategic alliances that help us to reach the scale that is necessary to win real changes for working families. Today our growing universe of partners and allies include labor groups, social and economic justice nonprofits, academics/researchers, student groups, civil rights leaders, and policy advocates. Our network of local coalitions across the country also have a diverse membership base of nearly 1,000 institutional partners working with our coalitions to advance our collective mission and vision for working families.
