  • Does your congregation have contracts for cleaning, security, trash pick-up or food services?
  • Do you have a building project coming up?
  • Do you want to make sure the workers who come into your congregation through these contracts are treated fairly?

Come hear faith and labor leaders discuss ideas to help our institutions to make just and ethical contracting decisions.

This seminar is designed for those involved in hiring, contracting, and building decisions and will address:

  • Conditions for cleaning, security, construction, and waste-hauling workers
  • Tips for choosing responsible contractors
  • Best practices for ensuring fair treatment of contracted workers
