The Church Council & Organized Labor

The Council has worked throughout our history alongside our partners in organized labor, mobilizing our network to attend union rallies and support worker priorities and bargaining efforts.

This past month, we joined UFCW 3000 for their Stop the Merger Rally as they fight to stop the $25M mega merger of Kroger and Albertsons grocery stores (above). We partnered with Faith Action Network, Organizing for Mission Network, A. Phillip Randolph Institute, SEIU 6, Unite Here! Local 8, UFCW 3000, and MLK Labor for a Faith + Labor Reunion (below), reigniting relationships and building power between faith communities and labor unions. Stay tuned for future opportunities to collaborate on our shared efforts.
