Profile
The Mississippi Workers’ Center for Human Rights (the Center) is a membership organization that fights worker mistreatment through organizing, legal advocacy, community education and outreach and most importantly, through organizing and the development of indigenous worker leadership. Our worker-members develop strategies for, and participate in, every battle, every initiative and every project. In this way, the Center prepares workers who are currently isolated and abused, for leadership roles in the labor movement. Among the issues the Center addresses are: unfair labor practices; employment discrimination; hostile work environment and hate violence; retaliation; sexual harassment; wrongful dismissals and workplace safety and health hazards.
Founded in 1996 in Oxford, MS, by Jaribu Hill, human rights activist and attorney, to provide education, advocacy and organizing support for low-wage workers and other victims of civil and human rights violations in the workplace. As an advocacy organization that links legal strategies with organizing strategies, the Center represents an alternative to traditional labor organizations.
The Center is a membership organization which has a membership of over 600 workers and supporters. As a human rights organization, it takes its mission beyond national borders and networks with organizations and individuals in other parts of the world. For example, the Center took a delegation to the World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa.
