  The Right to Organize

  We believe that all people should be treated
  according to their God-given dignity in all places,
  including the workplace. Workers should have a
  voice in the wages, benefits, and working conditions
  that so deeply affect their lives.

  As the social teachings of many faiths attest, workers have the right to organize unions,
  without fear or being retaliated against or fired for speaking up for their rights.
  Yet many workers find it difficult to exercise this right.  In thirty percent of union organizing drives,
  employers illegally fire workers who are union supporters. Experience in the Mid-South and
  across the country has shown that the presence of the faith community can make a critical
  difference in whether workers' rights are respected by employers.
