LABOR ORGANIZING
Our Vision of Economic and Worker Justice
CTU’s goal is to build worker power through organizing. We educate and organize workers to be able to address injustices that they are experiencing in their workplace. As a member-led worker center, CTU works to ensure that low-wage workers impacted by poverty and structural racism are fully involved in their individuals labor cases and are the ones making key decisions about collective actions and campaigns. Workers are encouraged to deepen their involvement in CTU by attending Labor Committee meetings, organizer trainings, member meetings and providing support to other affected community members. In addition to mediating workplace problems, we organize to recover stolen wages and when needed, strategize and develop campaigns and collective actions led by workers against local employers.
