Overview

Mission

St. Louis organizing committee is an association of workers employed in the retail, fast food and related industries who have joined together to protect and promote the interests of members by bargaining collectively with their employers to ensure better working conditions. Stloc will seek to improve the conditions of retail and fast food workers by working to ensure that employment in the industries is made up of high quality jobs with steady and regular hours, living wages, affordable health care, and safe and fair working conditions, and that these workers have the freedom to choose a union free of fear and intimidation.

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
