#6369 Jobs with Justice Records

Jobs with Justice (JWJ) is a non-profit workers' advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. Marking its beginning convening in Miami in 1987, JWJ started with members pledging to support others' fights for economic justice, as well as their own. Since that time, Jobs with Justice has grown to forty-five local affiliations in twenty-four states across the United States, and members now pledge to "stand up for our rights as working people to a decent standard of living; support the rights of all workers to organize and bargain collectively; fight for secure family-wage jobs in the face of corporate attacks on working people and our communities; organize the unorganized to take aggressive action to secure a better economic future for all of us; and mobilize those already organized to join the fight for jobs with justice".
