Work And Community Program
The South’s long, unique history of poverty and underdevelopment
continues with policies that foster “low road” development and undermine
economic security. The Work and Community Program provides in-depth
research, policy support, and other technical assistance to constituencies
working to improve the lives of low-income and working communities in
the South.
In 2006-2007, the Work and Community Program is focusing on:
Promoting accountable development, especially the fair and
equitable use of economic development subsidies, and
worker’s rights, exposing threats to dignity on the job and
innovative approaches to protect workers.
