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.

The Hellish Commute of the Women Who Make Your Clothes (Cambodia)
Factories give employees a travel allowance of $7, but they often end up spending more on a ragtag band of owner-operator driving services. “For them [the drivers], the more people you get on, the more profit you get,” says William Conklin, country director for international labor rights NGO Solidarity Center. “They’re not concerned about safety, they’re concerned about making ends meet.”
More effort needed to narrow gender pay gap: #tellusatoday
“A study by Rutgers, the AFL-CIO and the Solidarity Center indicates there is a direct link between growing income inequality and declining unionization. Equalizing benefits of union membership is more substantial for women.”
