WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
We are the largest U.S.-based international worker rights organization partnering directly with workers and their unions, and supporting their struggle for respect, fair wages, better workplaces and a voice in the global economy.
We value the dignity of work and workers. We know how all the work everyone depends on gets done–who picks the food for your table, cleans your home so you can go to the office, makes your clothes, keeps your streets clean. And at our core is every worker’s right to solve issues through collective action and to form unions.

Your iPhone Was Made by a Child Slave… and Wal-Mart Breaks the Law Again
“20 years ago you’d hear in different parts of the world ‘Yeah, we have child labor because it’s our economic advantage,’ or that it’s part of the culture. A lot of places you just don’t hear that anymore. The paradigm has shifted,” said Solidarity Center Director of Asia Programs, Tim Ryan.
Can Nepal Build a Better Economy for its Workers?
“Workers are generally left out of these discussions,” says Sonia Mistry, senior Asia program officer at the Solidarity Center. “There is an opportunity and importance in engaging workers and their unions. If we’re actually talking about poverty alleviation and making migration a choice, then you need to engage workers and look at decent work in the country of origin.”
