US Labor Education in the Americas Project

The US Labor Education in the Americas Project (USLEAP) works to support the basic rights of workers in Central America, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico, especially those who are employed directly or indirectly by U.S. companies.

Our Mission:
(1) To support worker justice in the global economy, specifically to support workers in Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico who are fighting for dignity, respect and and justice.

(2) To secure global rules for the global economy that ensure respect for the basic rights of workers.

(3) To hold U.S. corporations responsible for worker rights' violations in the factories and on the plantations from which they buy in Central America, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.

(4) To support trade policies and programs that condition participation on respect for the basic rights of workers.

(5) To support the development of stronger cross-border relationships between Latin American workers and U.S. trade unions and community activists so that Latin America workers can more effectively use U.S. support campaigns to ensure their own rights.
