Statement of Purpose

To educate, empower, and support social workers to improve their working conditions. To gather data and worker experiences pertaining to our working conditions and share that information with social workers, law makers, and the general public. We recognize that many social workers look to NASW for signals about what forms of advocacy are okay to participate in. This committee serves as a strong signal that we support social workers organizing their workplaces. We recognize that managers in social work are some of the most frustrated with the institutional forces suppressing our wages and funding, and therefore seek to partner with managers and workers alike to advocate against these forces and encourage organizing in our field.
