The Sustainable Economies Law Center is partnering with the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC). The EWOC provides organizing support and training to non-union workers building power in their workplaces with a goal of building a stronger, worker-led labor movement. Run through a network of hundreds of volunteers, organizers, and worker-organizers, that EWOC aims to provide a model for how the labor movement can increase union density through effectively engaging with the millions of unorganized workers in this country.

We're coming together to provide direct legal support to individuals and groups who need training and support on how to unionize their workplace!
