Southern Worker Action Summit | June 13-15, Spartanburg, SC
The 2025 Southern Worker Action Summit will bring together rank and file workers from sectors and workplaces across the South.We’ll discuss, debate, exchange, train, and strategize about how to build a militant, independent, fighting workers movement in the U.S. South.
This gathering aims to advance a higher level of unity and consciousness that leads to coordinated collective action and expanded efforts to build committees at unorganized workplaces, workers assemblies, and other forms of organization to build power across industries in the South.
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.
