ARAW received funding from unions affiliated with both the AFL-CIO and the Change to Win coalition, but its board of directors and day-to-day activities are not controlled by either labor group.[citation needed]

American Rights at Work merged with Jobs With Justice in 2012.[1]

The chair of the organization's board, David Bonior, took a leave of absence in December 2006 to chair the presidential election campaign of former U.S. Senator John Edwards.[2] Other board members include Julian Bond and Bradley Whitford.

The executive director of ARAW is Kimberly Freeman Brown.[3] The founding executive director was Mary Beth Maxwell.
