| Mission Statement |
| San Lucas Workers Center fights sweatshop abuses by Chicago day labor agencies. We are not an advocacy, policy, or social service group. We are a bi-lingual, multi-racial Committee of immigrant and U.S.-born workers, directly affected by the issues, who are organizing to:
1) end sweatshop abuses by Chicago day labor agencies; 2) win regular, family-supporting work; and 3) generate self-determination for day laborers through worker-led collective action. |
