Eleanor Roosevelt, Human Rights and Workers’ Rights Labor education materials on Eleanor Roosevelt, Human Rights and Workers’ Rights are now available on-line (www.gwu.edu/~erpapers/workers). Eleanor Roosevelt worked closely with many unions and was a champion of workers’ rights, civil rights, and women’s rights around the world. Their collaboration is best reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly Article 23 which establishes everyone’s right to work without any discrimination, the right to equal pay for equal work and the right to form and join trade unions. Up until now, there has been very little historical information available about Eleanor Roosevelt’s support for unions and unions’ support for human rights. In labor workshops over this past year, we have found a great deal of interest in these topics. ER’s words and actions provide inspiration and examples for meeting today’s problems.
