Jobs with Justice is a coalition of labor and community organizations working together to build unity and support for the struggles of working people. Our mission is to defend working people’s standard of living, fight for job security, protect our right to organize and support contract campaigns and strikes. Jobs with Justice opposes racism, sexism, ageism and homophobia and will actively support struggles against any form of discrimination. Jobs with Justice will not accept the political status quo. Too many elected politicians ignore the needs of working people. The erosion of secure and stable jobs, the decline in living standards, cuts in wages and benefits, as well as the deterioration of the right to organize and strike are political problems. Jobs with Justice believes that government should provide progressively financed public education, affordable housing, health care and social services. State and national budget priorities should address the pressing needs of our communities and put people to work rebuilding Massachusetts. Jobs with Justice will defend public workers, the services they provide and the people they serve.
