The Southern Workers Assembly is a network of local unions, worker organizations, and organizing committees, committed to building rank-and-file democratic social movement unionism as a foundation for organizing, uniting and transforming labor power throughout the South.

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.
