Welcome!

Our Mission Statement:

Our vision is to be in partnership to mobilize the religious and labor communities, and serve as an advocate for the rights of workers and their families.

Our vision affirms that we are a legitimate religious voice and that organized labor is vital to the achievement of social and economic justice.

The religious and labor communities share these beliefs:

bulletThe inherent dignity of every human being.
bulletEveryone has the right to be treated with respect, regardless of creed, age color or ability.
bulletEveryone should have the opportunity to have a decent standard of living.

To fulfill these beliefs, the Arkansas Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice seeks the following for all people:

bulletThe right to a job with a livable wage
bulletThe right to organize in the workplace.
bulletThe right to negotiate the terms and conditions of employment
bulletThe right to work in a safe and healthy, workplace, free from discrimination.
bulletThe right to prepare for a secure and healthy future.
