Washington Labor Center

The Labor Center provides working people with useful tools, through education, training, conferences and events, and timely, targeted research. We serve workers of all ages, races, genders, languages and communities, working in many industries. See below for upcoming events along with visitor and contact information.


Our education and research are focused on the daily experience of Washington workers. We use popular education to support workers developing skills in workplace leadership and advocacy, and build knowledge of workers' rights, labor history, and our political systems.

Our research team creates timely, relevant reports on Washington’s working families, with special emphasis on the needs of Washington women, BIPOC, low wage, immigrant, and vulnerable workers.
