Who We Are
Warehouse Workers for Justice (WWJ) is a worker center founded in 2008 to win stable, living wage jobs with dignity for the hundreds of thousands of workers in Illinois’ logistics and distribution industry. WWJ provides workshops about workplace rights, unites warehouse workers to defend their rights on the job, builds community support for the struggles of warehouse workers and fights for public and private policies that promote full-time work at decent wages in the warehouse industry. WWJ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and you can support our work by donating here.
