The Missoula Worker's Council envisions a world in which people are proud to work in the service industry because their jobs allow them to take of themselves; and workers, employers and the community are of the inherent value of our skills, time and energy. We have come together in response to rampant poverty that affects so many working people --in our own communities, and across the nation. We believe all working people, despite the nature of their labor, are entitle to main a sustainable standard of living as defined by the works themselves-- and we don't believe those in power are to just hand it over. The MWC will foster a social movement that will dispel pejorative cultural views and expectations about the value of the service industry; by and for the New Face of Labor, we will take back power for Missoula's workforce.
