Mission

The worker rights alliance is non-partisan, non-profit, organization dedicated to advancing workplace freedom, democracy and accountability in Washington, while reducing the negative influence unions control over Washington's politics and policies. The worker rights alliance utilizes education, legislative solutions, grassroots activism and political advocacy to enhance worker rights, strengthen our economy and enact meaningful labor reform in Washington state.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
