Vision, Mission,
and Goals

    Vision:
    We envision the faith community serving as a prophetic voice and
    spiritual advocate that is aware of the plight of workers, especially
    low-wage workers, and those victimized by social injustice.

    Mission:
    SFIWJ's mission is to involve the faith community in issues that will
    improve the wages, benefits, and employment conditions of the
    workers, especially the low-wage workers, of South Florida.

    Values Statement:
    * Work is a blessing and a responsibility, an expression of our faith.
    * Work gives meaning to life and the means by which to enjoy life.
    * Workers are not tools or machines, but have divine worth.
    * People are not to be exploited or abused.
    * All workers, whether engaged in intellectual or manual labor,
    are to be respected.
    * Employers and workers can expect from each other
    personal responsibility and quality of work.

    Goals:
    * Advocate for a just system of management labor relations
    * Promote a moral conscience regarding issues of employment
    * Encourage employers to respect workers’ right to organize,
    unionize and negotiate contracts in good faith
    * Educate the faith community on the rights of workers to obtain
    a living wage and decent employment conditions
    * Foster relationships among the faith community, workers, and
