About

The SOC is a mission-focused center developing strategies and implementing tactics on transformational campaigns that confront corporate power. We partner with workers and our affiliates — the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Communication Workers of America (CWA), and the United Farmworkers of America (UFW) — who are united in building a strong, vibrant labor movement through organizing workers hungry for change. The SOC acts with workers and unions driving strategies and tactics that support many of the largest organizing initiatives being conducted in the United States today.

Leadership Council

The SOC Leadership Council is composed of the democratically-elected presidents of our affiliate unions. Click on their pictures to learn more about their backgrounds, leadership and vision for their unions and the broader labor movement.
