Navigating a leadership role while advocating for workers' rights is undeniably challenging. Directors, organizers, and staff at worker centers and worker justice organizations face specific conditions that make their work particularly demanding, from limited funding, time, and capacity to hard campaigns to protect the most vulnerable workforce. However, it is both possible and essential for managers at worker centers and worker justice organizations to receive the necessary training to become effective leaders. The "Managing with Labor's Values for Worker Centers and Worker Justice Organization" workshop aims to develop new skills for people in positions of leadership. This two-day workshop equips participants with techniques for helping their staff succeed, holding them accountable, and addressing common staff management issues in line with the labor movement's values.
