Southern Worker Action Summit Sets Sights on Building Organization, Fightback
In the industrial hub of Spartanburg, SC, nearly 400 rank and file workers from every Southern state and key sectors across the region gathered from June 13 – 15 to chart a path to building more worker organization and broader fightback in the midst of the attacks from the billionaire class. The gathering – the Southern Worker Action Summit – was convened by the Southern Workers Assembly in collaboration with 16 worker organizations throughout the region.
Organize the South Rank and File Program
We know that the only way to change the quality of work and life here is to get organized. The Southern Workers Assembly is currently recruiting workers who want to be a part of leading this change, by getting jobs in key strategic industries across the region and digging in for the long-term to build power with their coworkers.
WHO WE ARE
The purpose of the Southern Workers Assembly is to organize rank-and-file workers to achieve a level of worker power through building organization in all kinds of workplaces, uniting them in assemblies, and exercising sufficient power through collectively bargaining contracts with employers, workplace mobilizations, labor and community solidarity, and independent political action.
