The Interfaith Council Statement of Principles

We, as religious leaders and people of faith express our commitment to the values of our sacred texts and their concern for all workers, employed or not, especially the working poor, whether they are direct employees or contracted out. Therefore we commit ourselves to act so that all workers shall be:

  1. Paid a living wage that allows them to meet the basic needs of their families.
  2. Provided with full healthcare benefits for them and their families.
  3. Employed by companies that abide by all applicable laws—including the right to organize.
  4. Treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
