The Brandeis Labor Coalition
Uniting a Community to Initiate Change
Weekly Meetings: Tuesdays @ 7:30pm
Shapiro Campus Center 313
Fellow students:
The labor movement at Brandeis continues to strengthen. As the BLC reaches out to the broader University community, we will need help with organizing, advertising, campaigning, interviewing, you name it. There is an especially urgent need for bilingual students. Experience is certainly not needed. Come to BLC meetings with a smile and an open mind. Be part of the next great movement changing Brandeis University for the better!
The Brandeis Labor Coalition is a group formed in 2002, made up of University students working with employees to advocate fairer working environments at Brandeis University and educate the student body about local, national, and international labor disputes.
The labor coalition has battled payment disparity caused by Hurley of America, mobilized the student body to make coffee on campus fair trade and make Brandeis an affiliate of the Workers' Rights Consortium. BLC has held various movie showings and teaching events about working issues, hosted "fair trade fairs" on campus, and worked in Boston labor and unemployment campaigns. If these issues interest you, take one step further by coming to BLC meetings.
