Human Rights Groups
The Solidarity Center (American Center for International Labor Solidarity) assists workers around the world who are struggling to build democratic and independent trade unions. Its mission is to promote workers’ rights, advance women’s equality, and eliminate child labor.
The National Labor Committee fights against child labor and sweatshops to ensure economic justice and dignity for workers and citizens everywhere, including in the United States, where there are employers who violate labor laws every day.
As union activists we must join the fight against corporate greed and raise awareness about these injustices at home and abroad. Organizations working to end sweatshop exploitation include United Students Against Sweatshops, Co-op America’s Ending Sweatshops Program and Sweatshop Watch.

There’s more to being a progressive union than achieving and enforcing a contract — and that’s where the Human Relations Department comes in. In order to be a progressive union, we must be responsive to our membership’s needs and diversity.
Our programs and benefits inspire members to participate in the union and give them a sense of inclusion, contribution, and ownership.
