workerrights

The Solidarity Center is a non-profit organization that assists workers around the world who are struggling to build democratic and independent trade unions. We work with unions and community groups worldwide to achieve equitable, sustainable, democratic development and to help men and women everywhere stand up for their rights and improve their living and working standards.


The Solidarity Center and its union partners promote democracy, freedom, and respect for worker rights in global trade, investment, and development policies and in the lending practices of international financial institutions.

Our programs raise public awareness about the abuse of the world's most vulnerable workers.


Above all, our programs help the world's workers secure a voice in the developing global economy, and thus in their own future.
