Everyone deserves to work in a safe environment
safety and caring
Everyone deserves the right to earn the wages and benefits needed to sustain themselves and their family. Every person deserves to be protected from danger or the risk of injury in every area of their life—including and especially the workplace.
this isn't new
Our fight for fair and just labor practices is centuries old. From Stonewall to Lowell Mill, the March on Washington to the Atlanta Washerwomen strike, we strive to bring their visions to bear on behalf of all people and workers today.
we're all queer
We envision a queer and trans future where we all build and create what we need to thrive. To get there, we have to create a culture that is open, curious, creative, and, at times, defiant of norms in its reclamation of strangeness and difference. Everyone is invited to this future.
How we can help
Reckoning Trade connects aspiring and current queer and trans trade workers. We know what we need to thrive. Working together, sharing knowledge, and providing support to one another is the only way we get to the future we deserve.
trainings
Reckoning Trade hosts educational forums for workers, employers, and unions to shed light on exclusionary workplace policies and norms. It will take many different kinds of organizations and people to make a new culture a reality.
advocacy
At Reckoning Trade, we know policy shapes culture. That’s why we work to organizes events and advocates for policy changes—in every institution, including and especially government—that ensure safe and caring workplaces.
