South Carolina workers have always fought for dignity and justice—from the 1934 textile workers' strike to today's Amazon warehouse organizing, from civil rights struggles to modern service worker movements. Our labor is what drives this state's economy, yet we're told to be grateful for poverty wages and union-busting "right-to-work" laws.
Both major parties have failed us. One serves corporations openly. The other takes our votes, then abandons us to protect their corporate donors. Meanwhile, South Carolina remains trapped with the nation's lowest union density, a $7.25 minimum wage, and an economy that enriches CEOs while working families struggle.
The South Carolina Labor Party is building a different path forward.
We're a political party controlled by working people and funded by small donations—not the same corporate interests that both parties serve. We believe in economic democracy: working people deserve real power over our workplaces, our economy, and our government.
