fighting FOR GLOBAL JUSTICE

It is clear that domestic struggles for workers’ rights are inextricably linked to international economic activity and the respect for workers’ rights abroad. As Global Corporations increasingly move jobs from the U.S. to developing countries, jobs are consistently degraded in terms of wages, benefits, safety, and job security, impacting workers in the U.S. and abroad.

Massive demonstrations have showcased to the world that corporate-style neo-liberal globalization that ignores the needs of the poor and the environment will no longer be tolerated. The major surprise has been the breadth of the emerging coalition: Union members are joining students, environmentalists, people of faith, human rights activists, and others. Since the fight against NAFTA, JwJ local coalitions have been heavily involved in organizing against a global economy that benefits only the rich.

Jobs with Justice is engaged in a variety of projects to fight for fairness in the global economy, including a collaboration with Indian trade unions, global trade, engagement in the U.S. and World Social Forums, and membership in the group Grassroots Global Justice.
