Mission Statement
People for Workers Rights is a student coalition devoted to stopping sweatshop labor. We believe that workers should earn a living wage in a safe and decent working environment, and that those who benefit the most from the exploitation of sweatshop workers must be held accountable. We focus on using our power as students to support issues of economic and social justice both on our campus, in the city of Pittsburgh and globally.

Please explore below to gain more information about what we and similar organizations do.  If you are interested, please come to a meeting or follow the contact info.  We're happy to have new faces.
