Protecting Freedom of Association.

Freedom of association is vital to a democracy and and to protecting the rights of working people to join together to further their collective interests. CCLA embraces a broad understanding of freedom of association as part of the bundle of rights necessary for meaningful citizen participation in our democratic system.
