Labor Organizing

We work to build power for working class people through organizing and policies that give them a greater voice in our political system. We work closely with our partners at the Louisiana AFL-CIO and its affiliate unions to serve and support more than 300,000 Louisiana union members and their families. We also work with local advocacy partners to provide additional services to working people. 

Labor Policy Wins

Louisiana’s working families are impacted by many different types of policies, and not all of them are directly related to labor regulations. Fixing the same problems that everyone faces, like excessive fines and fees, over-aggressive public-sector debt collection practices, unnecessary driver’s license suspensions, inefficient government agencies, and difficulty expunging criminal records of minor crimes that might limit job opportunities, can benefit all Louisianans, and especially our working families.
