Workers’ Rights Boards

Together prominent individuals and community leaders provide a powerful moral voice to struggles for social, racial, and economic justice in our communities.

UAW Picket Line Kansas City KC Strike

Missouri Jobs with Justice has active Workers’ Rights Boards in St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. Workers’ Rights Boards provide a platform and entry point for faith and community leaders to identify their self-interest in these struggles and amplify the voices of workers and other marginalized communities.

Government institutions including the National Labor Relations Board, the Departments of Labor on the federal and state level, and the Missouri State Legislature have increasingly failed to respond effectively to inequality and injustice. 

Workers’ Rights Boards respond quickly and effectively to incidents of inequality and injustice; by investigating complaints, holding public hearings, issuing public statements, or engaging in other actions.

Workers’ Rights Boards shine a bright, collective spotlight on unfair workplace practices and unjust public policies.
