Who We Are

Working Group for Promoting Worker Writers

The Working Group through UALE will encourage academic institutions, trade unions and grass roots organizations to enlist worker writers in their programs.  The Working Group will develop and maintain a database of living and deceased worker writers with contact information and book availability that readers, editors and teachers may integrate into their curriculum.  This database will help schools connect with worker writers and be a resource for them to invite writers to participate in their school programs.
