United States of America

The Labor Project for Working Families partners with unions to advocate for family friendly workplaces because no one should have to choose between work and family. They envision a world in which all workers have time and resources to care for themselves and their families.Too many people have to risk their job to care for a loved one or put a family member at risk to keep a job. We re made to feel that this is a personal problem but it s political family values too often end at the workplace door. We need new workplace standards to meet the needs of real families today.The result will be better individual and public health and greater financial security for families businesses and the nation.
