IWC Annual Report 2022-2023

This activity report covers the period from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023. The activities described below summarize the center’s involvement in a wide range of issues and situations facing workers. The number of workers coming to us, and their participation in workshops and campaigns, continues to grow. What’s more, worker leadership has become a regular feature of the center, whether in campaign planning or as spokespeople. This success reflects their courage and that despite their vulnerability in the workplace or their immigrant status, they are willing to stand up and fight for better conditions and justice. It also reflects the skills of the organizers in building relationships with workers and supporting them in their campaigns and organizing activities.
