The Jewish Labor Committee (JLC) is a U.S.-based secular Jewish labor organization founded in February 1934 in New York City by leaders of Yiddish-speaking immigrant trade unions, including the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, the Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring, the Jewish Labor Bund, and the United Hebrew Trades. Established in response to the rise of Nazism in Germany, it initially aimed to fight fascism, promote labor rights, organize anti-Nazi boycotts (such as efforts against the 1936 Berlin Olympics), and provide assistance to European Jews persecuted by the Nazis. The JLC served as an umbrella group for Jewish or Jewish-led trade unions and fraternal organizations, promoting labor union interests within organized Jewish communities in the USA and Jewish interests within U.S. labor unions. It was a founding member of the World Jewish Congress and maintained activity in Canada from 1936 until the 1970s under leaders like Kalmen Kaplansky. Headquartered in New York City, the JLC operates regional offices in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles, with volunteer-led affiliates in other U.S. communities. Today, it focuses on strengthening the historical alliance between the American Jewish community and the trade union movement, advancing a shared social justice agenda on issues like workers' rights, civil rights, and combating antisemitism.
