| Vision, Mission, and Goals |
We envision the faith community serving as a prophetic voice and spiritual advocate that is aware of the plight of workers, especially low-wage workers, and those victimized by social injustice. Mission: SFIWJ's mission is to involve the faith community in issues that will improve the wages, benefits, and employment conditions of the workers, especially the low-wage workers, of South Florida. Values Statement: * Work is a blessing and a responsibility, an expression of our faith. * Work gives meaning to life and the means by which to enjoy life. * Workers are not tools or machines, but have divine worth. * People are not to be exploited or abused. * All workers, whether engaged in intellectual or manual labor, are to be respected. * Employers and workers can expect from each other personal responsibility and quality of work. Goals: * Advocate for a just system of management labor relations * Promote a moral conscience regarding issues of employment * Encourage employers to respect workers’ right to organize, unionize and negotiate contracts in good faith * Educate the faith community on the rights of workers to obtain a living wage and decent employment conditions * Foster relationships among the faith community, workers, and employers |
