A love letter to labor.
LaborUnions.app is a project of GAIN Power . We built it to connect labor unions with the progressive movement, with campaign workers, and with each other. It showcases unions as a career path and connects campaigns to labor leadership.
It's also a thank-you. Labor unions have been our biggest supporters for years, and this site is our way of saying so.
Why labor?
GAIN Power exists to power the people who power democracy, and labor unions power democracy. They fight for it every day. They lead the resistance and every significant legislative battle. They run most of the independent expenditure campaigns, and they are leaders inside the Democratic Party and in partisan campaigns across the country.
We would be nothing without labor unions. We want a site that lifts them up and shows campaign workers everywhere what unions do and why they matter.
What you'll find here
- A place to learn: what unions do, how they're organized, and who's who in the labor movement.
- A place to find work: unions as a place to build a profession, not just a stop between campaigns.
- A place to connect: campaigns and campaign workers meeting labor leadership.
- Coming soon: labor history and labor training.
We're just getting started, and we want to keep building a space on the internet where people can learn about labor unions, see what they do, and find work in them.
