Our Mission

The Coalition to Protect American Workers (CPAW) is committed to ensuring that hardworking Americans thrive in the workplace. We believe that policies should empower them—not partisan politics or special interests.

CPAW is fighting for pro-worker, pro-growth reforms that protect American workers from harmful overreach and keep workers, not political insiders, at the center of labor policy and our economy.

Our mission is to protect worker choice and restore constitutional balance in labor relations by safeguarding secret‑ballot elections, due process, and the free exchange of information guaranteed by the First Amendment. We support approaches to representation that earn consent and deliver real value: better paychecks, safer workplaces, and stronger skills. And we oppose harmful overreach that sidelines workers, rewrites rules by administrative fiat, or hands power to bureaucrats with an agenda. Congress, not unelected agencies, sets labor law.
