Operating Principles
The center operates with the following principles:

• Organizing is the most effective way to address workplace problems. Most workplace problems are faced by many workers and are best solved with the involvement of many workers.
• Workers must control the decisions affecting their lives. Advocates, attorneys, pastors, and friends can help with information and support, but workers must be actively involved in making their own decisions.
• Challenging unjust systems often involves risks. Some workers can take the risks. Others cannot. All workers' decisions will be respected.
• All workers are welcome at the center regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or citizenship status.
• All people with be treated with respect and dignity.
• All those with the Workers' Center will be encouraged to advocate for just public policies on immigration and workplace issues.
