Area Leaders Speak Out About the Jobs Crisis
Hear local Dallas leaders and workers speak out about unemployment in their own words. Hear how they are getting involved in the jobs crisis and some ways that we can all get involved.
Our goal is to bring together community leaders from all sectors who are willing to use their authority to support workers’ rights, particularly the rights of workers who do not enjoy the support of strong unions. Members of Workers' Rights Boards include state representatives, religious leaders, organizers and activists, educators and academics, lawyers, journalists, and many others. The work of a Workers' Rights Board includes hearings where workers can present their struggles, speaking out on behalf of workers through writing letters to employers, delegation visits to management or public officials, speaking out through the media, and demonstrating solidarity with workers in various other ways. This Workers’ Rights Board will work closely with North Texas Jobs with Justice in order to identify worthy campaigns and issues.
