ALLIANCE ANNUAL AND CLOSE-OUT REPORT
INTERFAITH COALITION for WORKERS JUSTICE (ICWJ)
May 14, 2008 |
I. Alliance Background
This alliance was renewed on April 15, 2005.
Alliance Overview: The alliance was formed to promote safe and healthful working conditions for
immigrant workers in general and Hispanic/Latino workers in particular.
Implementation Team Members:
Kimberly Stille, Area Director and Leslie Ptak, Compliance Assistance Specialist, OSHA
Patrick Hickey, Director of the Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice
Evaluation Period: The evaluation period is from August 7, 2007 to May 14, 2008
Implementation Team Meetings
No implementation team meetings were held in the 12 month reporting period.
Activities and Products
The Alliance's primary product is the training of ICWJ service advocates in OSHA's mission and
capabilities; these advocates communicate regularly with OSHA's customers, Latino workers in the
Dane County area. The ICWJ conducts regular trainings of its volunteer service advocates and the
Madison compliance assistance specialist has always been invited to present on OSHA's program and
our desire to reach out to the Latino work force.
IV. Results
The ICWJ continues to be an effective hub of information about workplace rights in the Dane County
area and the Madison area office has successfully leveraged the Alliance to get information to
employees about their OSHA workplace rights. Our working relationship with the ICWJ has resulted in
other working relationships with many Latino community leaders and social service providers which is
useful in our office's overall outreach to these workers. In the evaluation period, the Madison OSHA
office was able to attend and present at the ICWJ's single service provider training session held in
the past twelve months.
It was decided that the alliance will not be renewed. The Madison OSHA office feels confident that
it can maintain its ongoing, effective relationship with the ICWJ without a formal written
agreement.
