Philadelphia Jobs with Justice
Philadelphia Jobs with Justice is a coalition of labor unions, student organizations, community groups, and faith congregations serving the Philadelphia area. Founded in 1999, Philadelphia Jobs with Justice is an autonomous affiliate of the national Jobs with Justice network. Its stated mission is to fight for the rights of working people in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.
==History==
In 2000, Philadelphia JwJ launched its first major campaign to ensure fair treatment and good contracts for public workers unionized with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Tactics included sending postcards to officials and leaders, sending out statements in the form of brochures and press releases, and holding rallies. The campaign succeeded in showing solidarity with the AFSCME members, educating Philadelphians on the importance of the issue, and limiting Mayor John Street's anti-union activity.
Philadelphia JwJ worked closely with security guards at the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art to gain independent union recognition. The guards at the museum, who are contracted with AlliedBarton, voted to form the Philadelphia Security Officer's Union (PSOU).
Since then, Philly JwJ has coordinated campaigns to organize graduate students at Temple University, to ensure benefits for part-time professors at the Community College of Philadelphia, to expose Comcast's workers' rights violations, to support Verizon workers' unionization efforts, and to raise awareness about Walmart's violations as an employer. JwJ supported the Transit Workers' Union SEPTA strike in 2005 to get better healthcare benefits and higher wages.
