Our Mission
EDUCATE ORGANIZE EMPOWER
The Chester Worker Empowerment Center's mission is to “educate, organize, and empower” workers in Chester and surrounding . We are concerned community members, clergy, labor, and elected officials who believe that all workers have the right to dignity and respect at work.
Our Campaigns
Worker Survey
We surveyed our communities to better understand worker needs. We collected over 200 responses. This information will help shape the programs we provide. All individual responses will be held strictly confidential. We appreciate your opinion and your time and trust! If you would like for our Director to come and speak about the results to your group, then please contact Jason Myers.
What Matters to You?
We partnered with the New Progressive South to train community organizers and canvas neighborhoods in our area. We appreciate the the time hundreds of our neighbors took to tell us a little about the issues impacting their lives.
OSHA 10-hour General Industry Training
We are partnering with the Tony Mazzocchi Center to promote safe and healthy work conditions in Chester and surrounding communities. We will be offering an OSHA 10-hour General Industry course.
