ILRF also awarded the American Federation of Teachers for their work that brings issues of child labor into classrooms around the United States, in an effort to raise awareness and mobilize campaign activities among teachers and students nationwide. 

Finally, United Steelworkers received an award for the passion and leadership they have brought and continue to apply to the fight for workers rights. Their efforts have been critical in helping exploited workers to organize for the first time and participate in training programs.

ILRF was glad to have the chance to honor these important individuals and institutions who have achieved progress in the fight for workers’ rights in the United States and abroad.
