Jobs with Justice Kentucky Chapter

Jobs with Justice Kentucky Chapter Fighting for workers' rights and social justice! Kentucky JwJ recognizes the importance of being an ally in the opposition of all forms of oppression.

Our vision for social change is based on the principles of solidarity and action: standing on “the front line” in solidarity with brothers and sisters in the struggle. Kentucky JwJ calls for a commitment to deepen one’s analysis of current economic injustice and to act from that commitment. For our campaigns to be a success, we must continue to work across barriers of class, gender, race, religio

n and sexual orientation. As a diverse coalition of community, faith, student and labor organizations, KY JwJ is able to support our partners’ social and economic justice actions as well as initiate our own. As we fight against issues of economic injustice we also recognize the close link to other forms of injustice (racism, sexism, heterosexism, etc). Kentucky Jobs with Justice is a broad-based coalition of community groups, faith-based organizations and labor unions united to promote, protect and improve the quality of life of all workers by empowering individuals and organizations to engage in collective action for economic and social justice. In spring 2017, Kentucky Jobs with Justice reorganized as the Jobs with Justice Kentucky Chapter, adopting new by-laws and elected a new slate of officers and executive committee members.

Yesterday, provisions of SB 1, the pension bill, were snuck into a wastewater bill, SB 151. This bill had not gone through the usual channels of studying the impact on the state budget and retirees' benefits as required by law. It passed last night without the bill being read.

We stand in solidarity with Kentucky teachers.

Teachers are walking out over a 1.5 percent cost of living increase and changes to their pension plan.
