About Us

Founded in 1992, the Labor Project for Working Families (Labor Project) is a national non-profit
organization that builds alliances between unions, advocacy and community groups to advance and implement family-friendly workplace policies such as family leave, paid sick days and worker-controlled flexibility.

LEARN WorkFamily – Our national labor education and resource network provides resources and technical assistance on organizing, bargaining, and advocating for family-friendly workplace programs and policies.

California Work & Family Coalition – We chair and coordinate this pioneering statewide labor-
community coalition that has successfully advocated for landmark legislation such as the California Paid Family Leave law.

National Initiative – Launched in 2010, through this Initiative we work to instill labor’s voice and
increase labor’s engagement and participation in local, statewide and national efforts to advance family- friendly workplace policies.

Family Values @ Work – We are a lead organization in this 16-state consortium of labor-community coalitions working for paid sick days, family leave insurance and other policies that value families at work.

Work and Family Strategy Council – As founding members of the Council, we are working with national advocacy groups and thought leaders on long-term sustainable policies to build the 21st century American workplace such as paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, and workplace flexibility.
