Labor & Employment Advocacy
Federal Workers Advocacy
The Jewish American Labor Council stands with the men and women of the federal workforce — providing expert advocacy, protecting civil service rights, and partnering with the nation's leading federal employee unions to advance justice in the workplace.
Our Commitment
Defending the Rights of Federal Employees
Federal workers are the backbone of American public service. From postal carriers to treasury employees, they deserve strong, principled advocacy when their rights are threatened. The JALC brings decades of labor law expertise and a deep commitment to worker dignity to every forum where federal employees seek justice.
Grounded in the Jewish values of tzedek (justice) and kavod habriot (dignity of all people), we advocate tirelessly before federal agencies and in partnership with the unions that represent America's government workforce.
