WHO WE ARE
Kentucky Jobs with Justice
Kentucky Jobs with Justice is a broad-based coalition of community
groups, faith-based organizations and labor unions united to promote,
protect and improve the quality of life of all workers by empowering
individuals and organizations to engage in collective action for
economic and social justice.
KY JwJ was founded in 1992 when community and church activists joined
to support UNITE! in a fight for fair contract for workers against
Louisville Manufacturing. KY JwJ has since grown to a coalition of more
than 50 organizational members and 1800 individual activists who have
pledged to "be there five times for someone else's fight as well as my
own." Sign the pledge: Pledge Now
National Jobs with Justice
National Jobs with Justice was founded in 1987 with a mission to
improve working people's standard of living, fight for job security,
and protect workers' right to organize. JwJ's core belief is that in
order to be successful, workers' rights struggles have to be part of a
larger campaign for economic and social justice. To that end, JwJ has
created a network of local coalitions that connect labor, faith-based,
community, and student organizations to work together on workplace and
community social justice campaigns.
