Labor in the Pulpits

Labor in the Pulpits Program, is a joint effort between the AFL-CIO and the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice. This program links local congregations with union members who come as people of faith to speak at worship services about conditions of working people, the union movement, and the struggle of workers to win a voice at work.     

Throughout 2000, labor stood shoulder to shoulder with the religious community on workers' rights issues around the globe such as child labor, World Trade Organization, debt relief for impoverished countries and core labor standards.

Again and again, the religious community assisted workers seeking to have a voice at work. The religion-labor alliance continues to grow and Labor in the Pulpits is an important expression of our joint concern for economic justice in America’s workplace.

We would encourage local participation with the AFL-CIO Central Labor Councils and State Federations in your area with the Labor in the Pulpits program.
