Mission

The Labor & Employment Committee of the National Lawyers Guild ("the Committee") is a national committee of the National Lawyers Guild. We seek to advance the interests of working people and organized labor through education and advocacy, support for their individual and collective actions, and any other efforts necessary and appropriate to the advancement of these interests, to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests.
