Chicago Workers’ Collaborative  is an Illinois non-profit organization that unites low-wage workers so we can receive the proper respect and treatment in exchange for our important labor.  We educate about workplace rights, provide critical services to our members, and mobilize to gain full access to employment for all workers, especially immigrants and African Americans. The CWC presently is working on the following initiatives:

• Collaborating with the Illinois Department of Labor and the Illinois Attorney General’s office to improve enforcement of state labor laws.
• Growing the membership of our Chicago and Northwest Suburban Worker Service Centers by providing critical Assistance to our members.
• Aiding our worker members to locate the best legal assistance for employment-related issues.
• Working with law enforcement authorities in arresting the perpetrators and helping the victims of human traffiicking.
• Bringing together African-American and Latino workers to end the criminalization of our people, including Comprehensive Immigration Reform, so we may all work and participate in our community as equals.
