BUILD WORKER POWER TO ORGANIZE THE SOUTH!

The Southern Workers Assembly is a network of local unions, worker
organizations, and organizing committees, committed to building rank-and-file
democratic social movement unionism as a foundation for organizing, uniting and
transforming labor power throughout the South.

Join the Fight

Organize the South Rank and File Program

We know that the only way to change the quality of work and life here is to get
organized. The Southern Workers Assembly is currently recruiting workers who
want to be a part of leading this change, by getting jobs in key strategic
industries across the region and digging in for the long-term to build power
with their coworkers.

Operation Dixie: Lessons for Southern Workers

Operation Dixie was launched by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)
in early 1946 and ended in 1953. It was an ambitious attempt by the CIO to
organize industry, particularly textiles, across the South.

However overdue and necessary this initiative was, it is largely regarded as a
failure. As the United Autoworkers (UAW) opens up new organizing drives across
the South, and workers in many sectors in the region are stepping forward to
organize and fight back, what lessons can be learned from this period and
applied to our work today? How can we build a workers movement that can address
the urgent need to build worker organization and power across the U.S. South?

Join us for this discussion that will take up these and other questions.

WHO WE ARE



The purpose of the Southern Workers Assembly is to organize rank-and-file
workers to achieve a level of worker power through building organization in all
kinds of workplaces, uniting them in assemblies, and exercising sufficient power
through collectively bargaining contracts with employers, workplace
mobilizations, labor and community solidarity, and independent political action.
