Cleveland Jobs with Justice is a coalition of labor, community and faith
organizations working together to promote workers' rights in the
Cleveland area through collective action.
What we do .....
Cleveland Jobs with Justice fights for working people. It's that
simple.
Whether it means rallying to support workers facing anti-union
harassment from their employer, or joining allies to protect important
public safety net programs like Medicaid, Cleveland Jobs with Justice
is about SOLIDARITY.
When more of us start standing together, we can all start winning. By
engaging with our allies and friends on a broad range of issues and
campaigns, Cleveland Jobs with Justice pushes for militant action in
the fight to protect working people, the services they need, and the
rights they fought hard to win. At Cleveland Jobs with Justice we
believe that sometimes you have to stand up, and sometimes you
have to sit down, to win justice and dignity for working people.
Cleveland Jobs with Justice is an action oriented organization working
for social change. Traditionally, our work relates to a few different
subject areas:
We fight for Economic Justice for all workers. We believe everyone
deserves to make a decent living wage and working people should not
be living in poverty.
We believe in Health Care for all. We support local, statewide, and
national campaigns to provide accessible, affordable healthcare in the
United States.
We support Workers Rights, their right to organize in the workplace
and collective bargaining. We advocate for legislation that supports
this right. We also bring people together in local union fights where
our collective strength is beneficial to a local union.
We believe in FairTrade not free trade. We believe in the rights of
workers not corporations in the global economy.
As the corporate world continues to tighten its hold on our political
and economic culture, a voice for working people is needed now more
than ever. Cleveland Jobs with Justice is committed to being that
voice for worker justice.
We engage with our allies on a wide range of issues, but these four
issue areas are central to the work we do. Our coalition partners
continue their daily work around these issues reaching out throughout
the community, the state and some even nationally.
One thing we do know, when we come together our voice is too loud
to ignore. In whatever campaign we engage, the demands are the
same - respect, dignity, fairness, and justice for all people. Who we
