Mission: The U.S. Labor Education in the Americas Project (USLEAP) is an independent non-profit organization that supports workers who are fighting for a better life for their families and to overcome poverty in Latin America. We support especially those workers who are employed directly or indirectly by U.S. companies producing for the U.S. market. USLEAP believes that in a global economy it is also in the best interests of U.S. workers that workers in other countries have the freedom to fight to improve their wages and working conditions.
Programs: USLEAP works with a broad spectrum of groups in the U.S., Europe, and Canada to support workers in Latin America who are fighting for a better life for their families and to overcome poverty.Specifically, USLEAP campaigns and advocates for * U.S. corporate responsibility, by developing and promoting campaigns and initiatives aimed at specific U.S. companies whose workers in Latin America are fighting to improve wages, working conditions, and respect for their basic rights * fundamental trade policy changes in the global economy, by opposing trade agreements that fail to protect workers, consumers and the environment; supporting labor law reform in Latin American countries; and advocating with governments in Latin America and the U.S. to support specific worker struggles. USLEAP also provides technical assistance to workers in Latin America. Our major projects include: * Banana Worker Justice Project * Coffee Worker Justice Project * Flower Worker Justice Project * Sweatshop (Maquiladora Worker) Project * Trade and Worker Rights Project * Violence Against Colombian Trade Unionists Project
