Chicago Workers Collaborative is one of seven labor rights organizations that received grants from Crossroads Fund in 2011.

Three years ago Paula Martinez was referred to the Chicago Workers Collaborative by her co-worker, who thought she had a strong case against the temp agency she worked for. She organized with several of her co-workers and started a joint campaign, which included a lawsuit.
