On Labor Day two years ago, the Labor Force launched our public advocacy program. Since that time, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for workers fighting to form unions, sent millions of messages to union-busting corporations, and shown out in force on the streets.
Two years ago, we promised that a new labor movement was rising. We hope we’ve shown the truth of that statement. But at the same time, we’ve still got a long way to go.
After decades of stagnating union membership, workers are finally taking power into our own hands and organizing ourselves.
Public support for unions is at an all-time high―but so is our corporate opposition.
The biggest corporations in the world are still throwing incredible amounts of money to block unions from forming, and to prevent the ones that have won elections from ever getting a contract.
Or, in the words of Warren Buffett, “there’s class warfare all right. But it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
Guess what? The rich class’s victory is not inevitable. It’s time to fight back, together.
That’s why we created The Labor Force. We are dedicated to growing and strengthening the labor movement by making it easy for everyone–union member or not–to participate.
We partner with traditional and independent unions and workers’ centers across the country to add the power of our community to the most pressing labor campaigns. Each week, we will support the needs of these campaigns through donations, petitions, phone calls, rallies, and more.
By acting in solidarity, The Labor Force community multiplies the strength of every campaign and grows our momentum and power as a unified labor movement.
Working people built this country, and together, we’re going to save it. We’re never going to match corporate America dollar-for-dollar. But we don’t have to. We’ve got the 1% outnumbered, and together we can build a movement that’s too powerful for corporations and the billionaire class to fight.
In solidarity,
The Labor Force
