The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center (CIWC) was established in March 2005 to help mobilize, educate and organize low wage and immigrant workers. These efforts are designed to give low-income workers from all walks of life the opportunity to creatively challenge the power relationships with their employers and improve their working terms and conditions. 
The CIWC is a membership-based organization and its work is organized through 2 member committees focusing on Worker Justice and Immigrant Rights. The CIWC also fights wage theft in the area and has helped to recover over $700,000 in stolen wages since 2005.
