Who Made A Difference For Working People In Our Region In 2022? Nominate Them For The SW Washington Labor Awards!

We all know that 2022 was an amazing year for working people in our region. We saw headlines about strikes, new organizing, and workers from across Southwest Washington standing up and standing together to fight for fair treatment in their workplaces.

Behind each of those headlines are people in our community who took risks and volunteered their time and energy to make those stories happen. Far too often those people don’t get recognized for their efforts – but the Cowlitz Wahkiakum Central Labor Council and Southwest Washington Central Labor Council won’t let that happen. That’s why we’re honored to bring you
