Our Work

The Congress is a space for national leaders to build with other national leaders and create a comprehensive labor agenda that has a strong foundation across multiple sectors. The UWC provides a visionary space for staff and member leaders. The first conference that the UWC sponsored was an international gathering on the human right to organize which brought worker organizers from several different countries to share their campaign strategies and experiences. Many UWC member leaders were inspired to take their local campaigns to a larger scale and to continue to develop cross sector campaigns. As a result of the conference, the UWC is developing international campaign education materials and mapping international labor campaigns.

We strive to create a space for leaders to think more broadly about their work and to make connections with other worker sectors and social justice movements.
