Worker Rights Consortium

The Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) is an independent non-profit organization based in Washington, District of Columbia. The WRC has 18 employees. The WRC investigates working conditions in factories worldwide, focusing on documenting and combating sweatshop conditions. They issue public reports on factories producing for major brands and retailers, highlighting labor rights abuses. The WRC also assists workers in factories in their efforts to end violations and defend their workplace rights. The WRC believes that systemic change is necessary to ensure decent working conditions and wages for manufacturing workers. They work to foster binding agreements between worker representatives and global corporations to achieve this goal. The WRC has a global reach, with investigators in twelve countries and partnerships with hundreds of civil society organizations across various continents.
