OUR ADVOCACY WORK
A grassroots organization focused on workplace and economic justice, The Workers’ Center facilitates worker empowerment and leadership development through trainings related to workers’ rights and occupational health and safety, orchestrates campaigns to combat wage theft and to promote employer compliance with the law, and engages in organizing and coalition-building to push for policies that will increase wages, improve workplace standards and conditions and promote human rights.
While we are a local organization based out of Syracuse, NY, our work extends throughout the Central NY region and into the North Country. We engage and collaborate with fellow organizations, organized labor, community members and activists as well as government agencies and elected officials at the local, state and federal levels.
To this end, WCCNY is actively engaged in a number of campaigns and projects that empower workers and working families in our communities to share their stories, improve their quality of life, win better working conditions and build lasting political power.
