Join the Brigade and win more for our families and our community
For years, Local 1 members have been uniting and building the strength it takes to win improvements that impact our jobs, our families and our communities. By joining the Justice Brigade, members will learn...
How to defend our union contract in our worksites.
Ways to unite non-union workers to build our strength.
Ways to support our local allies and political campaigns.
How to organize rallies & actions to make our voices heard.
Other skills that will benefit members on and off the job.
During the program, members receive full pay and benefits as guaranteed by their union contract while taking time off work for leadership training. As a member of the Justice Brigade, you will have the kind of pride that comes with knowing you are making a real difference in the lives of your co-workers and an investment in our children’s future.

"As a member of the brigade in my local union, I became a leader among my co-workers. Now I know what it takes to make improvements on the job and I am prepared to help other janitors fight and win."
