Labor Education
We use popular education to support people's developing skills in workplace leadership and advocacy, and build knowledge of workers' rights, labor history, and our political systems. Contact our Labor Education team for more information about public trainings, conferences, leadership cohorts, and customized trainings for union staff and leaders. See our training catalog here.
Applied Research
Our research team creates timely, relevant reports on Washington’s working families, with special emphasis on the needs of Washington women, Black, Indigenous and People of Color, low wage, immigrant, and vulnerable workers. Contact us if you are interested in collaborating or have applied labor policy research ideas. See our past research here.
Workers Rights Manual
We publish and maintain the Washington State Workers’ Rights Manual which is a comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date guide for workers and their advocates looking for information on rights, benefits and the law. In order to make this resource more accessible, we have launched rightsatworkwa.org, where you can find the complete manual online. Contact us with questions, additional resources or for a mailed/printed copy of the manual.
Will Parry Library
The Will Parry Library is a labor and workers rights specialty library that includes books, periodicals, movies, documentaries, pamphlets and zines.
