LELO strives to empower low-income workers of color, recent immigrants and women workers to assert their rights, improve their working conditions and gain a voice in their workplaces, trade unions and communities... in the U.S. and across the globe.
BASIC CODE OF MUTUAL RESPECT
-
Recognize we all have a voice and an ear.
-
"Step Back" so others can "Step Up".
-
Be humble - honor all knowledge levels.
-
Refrain from all degrading and disrespectful language and behavior.
-
Don't personalize - argue issues not people; without blame, shame, attack or discount.
-
Treat with respect those with whom you both agree and disagree.
PRINCIPLES OF UNITY
-
People of color, women and ordinary workers should always speak for themselves.
-
We strive to win racial, economic, and social justice and oppose all forms of exploitation and domination related to our race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, culture, or ability.
-
The people's struggles both home and abroad are interrelated - often with a common enemy and common vision for economic and social justice. We commit to support our commons struggles with concrete action and acts of solidarity.
-
The human rights of the poorest and most exploited must always be placed at the center of our work and our passion for change.
