Mentors & Others Recruit Peggy Browning Alumni Spring 2019 Educating Law Students on the Rights and Needs of Workers Mentors & Others Recruit Peggy Browning Alumni See Them As a Strong Talent Pool Over the last 22 years, many of the mentors of Peggy Browning Fellows have been so impressed with our students’ passion and dedication to workers’ rights that they’ve hired them to continue working beyond their fellowships. In fact, many employers in the labor community have hired multiple Peggy Browning Alumni because they know that these law school graduates will provide an excellent work product and are committed to furthering the employer’s goals of advocating for working families. We thought it might be interesting to see which organizations have hired multiple PBF alumni. We think you’ll be impressed with the results. The chart below shows organizations that SEIU 2018 Summer Fellows Rachel Sandalow-Ash currently employ the largest number of our alumni. This is (2nd from Left) and Carley Russell (1st on Right) just a snapshot. So many others employ multiple PBF alumni during their Summer Fellowships. that we couldn’t list them all.

  • (CWA) Before the US House Committee On
    Testimony of Christopher M. Shelton, President, Communications Workers of America (CWA) Before the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means March 27, 2019 “The 2017 Tax Law and Who it left Behind” Thank you Chairman Neal, Ranking Member Brady and Members of the Committee for inviting me to testify today. My name is Christopher Shelton and I am the President of the Communications Workers of America (CWA). CWA represents approximately 700,000 workers in the telecommunications, media, airline, manufacturing, health care and public sectors in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. We appreciate having the opportunity to testify today at this hearing on the 2017 tax law because it was one of the most consequential pieces of legislation to be enacted in some time that directly impacts all our members’ lives in many ways, regardless of the sector of the economy they work in. Unfortunately, during the debate and consideration of that legislation there were no hearings or forums where we were given an opportunity to directly share with this Committee or others in Congress our views on how the tax code could be reformed or restructured to benefit working American families. Hearings like this one should have been held before the law was rushed through Congress. So we are deeply grateful Chairman Neal for you and the Committee now giving us an opportunity to share our views on how the new tax law has impacted working Americans’ lives. CWA strongly believes that our tax code needs restructuring and reform and we followed the debate on the tax cut closely.

  • 2017 Annual Report the Resurgence of Grassroots Activism a Message from the 2017 Year in Review Executive Director
    INTERNATIONAL LABOR RIGHTS FORUM 2017 ANNUAL REPORT THE RESURGENCE OF GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM A MESSAGE FROM THE 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, In 2017, we were inspired by the surge in protests demanding workers’ rights, women’s rights, and migrant workers’ rights – all issues ILRF has worked on for decades. We have also been heartened by growing numbers of investors, human rights groups, and environmentalists joining our demands that global corporations commit to greater transparency and to ensuring workers’ access to legal remedy. At ILRF, we are working to stop human rights abuses in global supply chains, industry by industry and country by country. • We have turned the global cocoa giants’ attention towards strategies that address the poverty among West African cocoa farmers and how poverty is a root cause of child labor and damaging to school enrollment and performance. • We have pioneered new approaches to corporate accountability in global supply chains, helping to make the legally binding Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety a model for pushing corporations beyond their flawed codes of conduct. • We have forged critical alliances with environmental rights advocates to expose forced labor and its links to environmental crimes in high demand commodities such as seafood and palm oil. ILRF’s priority campaigns focus on sectors where workers are particularly vulnerable, and where child labor, forced labor and violence against women at work are rampant and under protected. These are sectors where workers’ rights to organize and bargain for better wages and working conditions are often violently repressed, making it that much harder to identify and end egregious abuses.
