What is the Jewish Labor Committee?

What is the JLC?
The Jewish Labor Committee, an independent secular organization, is the voice of the Jewish community in the labor movement and the voice of the labor movement in the Jewish community. Whether through its national office in New York or local offices and lay-led groups across the United States, the JLC enables the Jewish community and the trade union movement to work together on important issues of shared interest and concern, in pursuit of our shared commitment to economic and social justice.
Our national headquarters are in New York City; we have staffed local/regional offices in Boston, MA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Chicago, IL; and Los Angeles, CA -- and volunteer-led JLC or JLC-affiliated groups in such places as Detroit, MI; Washington, DC; Cleveland, OH; Miami, FL; and Phoenix, AZ.
