The Share the Plate for Sundays August 30th and September 6th is Worker Justice Wisconsin. Worker Justice Wisconsin partners with low-wage and immigrant non-unionized workers in their struggle for dignity at work by building collective power together with faith and labor allies. They empower workers to stand up for their rights and fight for a just and living wage for all, paid time off for all, workplaces free from discrimination and harassment, opportunities for collective bargaining without retaliation, and a healthy work life balance. Worker Justice Wisconsin was nominated by the Worship Team.
