Grateful to have joined LIFT grantees and allies at the Southern Worker Organizing Convening in Montgomery, AL to dig into law and organizing strategies and power building in the US South.

The deep, sobering and inspiring history of Montgomery reminds us why we fight and that the fight for worker justice and racial justice are forever inextricably intertwined.

In an 11-page ruling on Friday in the Diaz Perez et. al. v. Marder et. al. case, just 4 days after a 2 hour hearing, Judge Sorokin agreed with the workers and denied the defendants’ effort to compel the Plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims instead of proceeding in court. 

Based on the record before it, the Court found that Defendants did not meet their burden to show that a valid, enforceable arbitration agreement exists. 

This positive decision was issued very quickly and we believe that is entirely because six plaintiffs and their many allies attended the hearing, and the Judge realized the urgency of this case. Without the plaintiffs courage, dedication, and leadership at every step of this case, we would not have made it to this point.

While the fight isn’t over, this record speed for a decision from the court is a win in and of itself for the workers. ❤️‍🔥

Shout to to Centro Comunitario de Trabajadores for organizing alongside the workers and for co-counseling alongside GLOW.

This summer, the United States will host the FIFA World Cup—the largest sporting event in the world—at a moment marked by rising authoritarianism and escalating attacks on immigrant communities.

While the tournament will generate billions in revenue for FIFA and corporate sponsors such as Coca-Cola and Bank of America, those profits will depend on the labor of hundreds of thousands of workers who are likely to face dangerous, exploitative, and abusive working conditions.

Mega-events like the World Cup do not happen by accident. They are built through layers of contractors, staffing agencies, subcontractors, and temporary labor - undermining unions, blocking access to stable jobs, and hindering the enforcement of workers’ rights across the board.

FIFA has already shown us where they stand with respect to workers’ rights - with the 2022 World Cup bringing widespread worker exploitation, trafficking, injuries & preventable deaths.

The Temp Worker Advocacy Coalition, anchored by GLOW, is keeping eyes on FIFA this summer and demanding that all workers - regardless of race, immigration status, criminal record or job classification - deserve fair pay, safety and enforceable workplace standards.

The Temp Worker Advocacy Coalition (TWAC), anchored by GLOW, put FIFA on notice for this summer’s World Cup games, demanding that FIFA:

👉does not contract with temporary staffing agencies with documented wage theft, discrimination, retaliation or misclassification violations.
👉provide equal pay for equal work.
👉provide access to water, rest areas, protective equipment and bathrooms without retaliation.
👉have safeguards in place to protect world cup workers from ICE present at the games.

Beyond the Bars, a member of TWAC, hand-delivered the letter to FIFA’s headquarters in Miami this May Day, making it clear that we have workers backs at the games this summer.
