The AFL-CIO Now Blog has some more thoughts on the role that faith leaders play in supporting worker rights.  For example, Interfaith Worker Justice does great work all across the US with a range of religious leaders and faith communities to organize in support of labor rights campaigns.  They have a great toolkit for religous leaders about the Employee Free Choice Act so that faith communities can support this legislation which would help increase the right of workers to join unions -- and improve the economy. 

The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility is another great faith-based organization that works with religious institutional investors to support shareholder resolutions on a range of social justice issues, including labor rights.

Recently faith leaders have played important roles in supporting victorious labor campaigns in the US like the Republic Windows sit-in in Chicago, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers campaign in Florida and the Smithfield campaign in North Carolina.

These are just a few examples of how faith leaders are supporting campaigns for economic justice.  Do you have other good examples?  What role do you think faith leaders can play in protecting worker rights in the global economy?
