Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Brandworkers International is a non-profit organization of local food-making workers coming together for a good job and sustainable food system.

  • Local food produced close to market is soaring in popularity. But the mostly low-income immigrant workers employed in local food production factories are being left behind. They work long hours hand-crafting food but wages are too low to live on with dignity. Many workers contend with highly unsafe working conditions, resulting in serious and even fatal injuries. Workers of color, immigrant workers, and women workers face particularly egregious discrimination and abuse on the job. Brandworkers International empowers low-income workers to develop as leaders and partners with ocmmunity allies to campaign for dignified jobs within a just food system. Brandworkers International advanced campaigns to achieve dignified job in local food manufacturing, facilitated the leadership development of immigrant workers, grew its Gender Justice Initiative, and launched a program to safeguard immigrant safety at work.

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.
