About us

Workplace Justice was founded in 2024 as a hub for supporting and expanding the remarkable work ignited at the first New Organising Conference in 2023. Born out of a collective vision for a fairer, more equitable future for workers, our mission is to enable individuals, unions, and grassroots movements to organise and fight for justice in workplaces and communities across the UK and beyond.

In 2025, we will be organising the third annual New Organising Conference, bringing together activists and campaigners who are shaping the future of workers' rights. It won’t just be about speeches or ideas—it’ll be about strategy, tactics, and winning. 

We’re here to build power—power for all working people, especially those who have been marginalised for too long. Whether it’s migrant workers exploited by broken systems, or women, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ individuals facing discrimination, we know that our struggles are interconnected—and that to win, we must fight together. 

As we move forward, we are committed to being a force in the organising community—creating spaces where ideas flourish, campaigns thrive, and real change is achieved. Together, we’ll continue building on the momentum started at the New Organising Conference, with an open mind to where our path leads next.
