Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

JWJEF is a national organization network Organization with 39 coalitions in 26 states across the country. We believe that all working people should have collective bargaining rights, labor and employment protections, employment security and a decent standard of living. In partnership with a diverse universe of partners and allies we are creating innovative solutions to the socio-economic challenges working families face today. Our core strategies for advancing our collective efforts are three-fold: 1) lead and incubate campaigns that combine innovative communications strategies, solid research and policy innovations, and grassroots base-building and mobilization; 2) shape public discourse about workers' rights and the economy to advance collective bargaining as a solution to inequality; and 3) build and support a network of coalitions that provide a permanent infrastructure for working people to build power, wage strategic campaigns, mobilize, organize and negotiate.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
