NO OTHER INTEREST SAVE THE WORKERS’ THEMSELVES IS SERVED
WSWA PROVIDES A CHANCE FOR WORKERS TO SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
Who are our members?
WESTERN SERVICE WORKERS ASSOCIATION’s (WSWA) members are the backbone of the economy: we clean homes and offices, provide care to children and the elderly, construct houses and maintain lawns, and perform other jobs in the service, tourism, and manufacturing industries, yet we receive wages that don’t cover survival needs for our families.

Join as a Member
Membership is open to anyone who is, has been, or in the future may be employed in service work or other types of low-paid work – domestic work, temporary work or work done as an independent contractor.
Host a House Meeting
Interested members host membership house meetings in their homes or yards and invite newly signed members and other neighbors, family and friends to learn about WSWA.
Build a self-help membership benefit program
Members are eligible to participate in a free-of-charge Benefit Program, designed by members for members. As a self-help organization, members participate in the building, functioning and oversight of the Benefit Program.
Expand the Orange County Workers Benefit Council
The Orange County Workers Benefit Council (WBC) is a body of members who take on leadership roles in the organization. WBC decisions are made by consensus, including ratifying campaigns and demands. Members meet to coordinate the action WSWA will take toward problems and needs expressed by the Council members and how the Benefit Program will grow in the interests of working people in Orange County.
Become a Delegate
As part of the WBC, members can take on the role as delegate to bring the concerns of other members working in the same industry, worksite or living in the same neighborhood to the WBC meetings.
