Jobs with Justice is organizing grassroots support for the Employee Free Choice Act. Our members and activists have spoken in churches, in community meetings and on campuses to explain to the general public why the Employee Free Choice Act is important to restore balance to our economy. We know that if the Employee Free Choice Act were passed today, it would completely change the struggle that is faced by the Philadelphia Security Officers Union at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In fact, if it were in place today, these workers would already be a union! We are building important support for the Employee Free Choice Act. Please take a minute to support us with a donation.
Your donation comes a critical time for Jobs with Justice and for the Employee Free Choice Act. Jobs with Justice is celebrating our ten year anniversary. On May 27, 2009 at 5:30 pm., we will mark our ten years with a cocktail reception at the William Way Center, 1315 Spruce St. This fun and casual event will be a great place to meet with organizers, activists and leaders from the Philadelphia labor movement and Jobs with Justice. Don't miss your chance to meet our dynamic network!
In addition to cocktails, snacks and networking, we will also honor ten leaders who have be key to Jobs with Justice over the year. This years honorees are Kathy Black, Ronald Blount, Reena Desai, Lou Faiola, Dorian Lam, April Logan, Linda Lotz, Cecelia Lynch, Vikki Millhouse and Rev. Schaunel Steinnagel.
This is also a critical time for the fight to reform labor law with the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Our reception will offer guests a chance to get the exclusive perspectives on this effort from Arlene Holt-Baker, Executive Vice-President of the AFL-CIO.
be sure to get your ticket or donate today. You support will make all of the difference!
Be sure to grab one of the Limited Edition Ten Years of JwJ Commemorative Posters designed by Soul Purl 77.

Student Labor Action Project
As Philadelphia students and youth we commit ourselves to the struggles of working class people in this city and to the fight against all forms of oppression including racism, sexism, and homophobia. We stand for equality, the rights of workers, justice, and democracy. We are against the corporatization of education and aim to make our universities fully accountable to the communities they were built to serve. We believe that direct action wins working class families better working conditions, affordable health care, paid sick days. SLAP provides dedicated student leaders with the skills and tools necessary to affect meaningful change for workers on our campuses and in our communities through trainings, events, and actions.
