About us
The Church People – Workers Solidarity (CWS) is a non-profit organization. It is an ecumenical body composed of bishops, clergy, the religious men and women, lay leaders and workers that shall spearhead in harnessing the church people’s initiatives towards solidarity with the workers. It shall further engage in activities that truly reflect the oneness of the church with the workers’ life and aspirations.
The CWS aims to strengthen and sustain their linkages; and to make a commitment for:
1. a genuine and continuing dialogue between church people and workers.
2. solidarity with Filipino workers in addressing various issues and concerns.
3. cooperation among workers and church people in order to come up with common responses that will actively support the rights of Filipino workers, especially the right to organize.
4. church people to be actively engaged in the efforts of workers to craft a pro-labor code and to assert laws and policies that would protect and guarantee labor rights, especially those that deal with just wages, decent working conditions, security of tenure, the right to a gainful employment, and other labor rights.
The Church People — Workers Solidarity is thus an important vehicle to regain and strengthen the unity between church people and workers for the attainment of the common good, where there is justice, peace, freedom and fullness of life.
