ManualA Job and a Life: Organizing and Bargaining for Work Family Issues

Designed for union leaders, activists, negotiating teams and organizers, this step by step guide provides the tools needed to advance a successful work and family agenda.

A Job and a Life includes:

  • Strategies for Work and Family - committees, legislation, bargaining
  • Survey Questions on Work and Family
  • Sample Contract Language - child care, family leave, flexible hours, elder care and more
  • Model Union Programs and more

"This guide provides unions with the tools they need for negotiating for critical policies like paid family leave, flexible hours and child care. It also helps unions advocate in state and national arenas for good public policies that benefit all working families, as the union movement did with paid family leave in California."
- John Sweeney, President, AFL-CIO

“The Labor Project for Working Families leads the way for unions in negotiating for innovative work and family benefits for families. The Guide is a terrific resource in helping unions negotiate for child care, elder care and more.”
