Draft:Northwest Labor Employment and Law Office

  • Comment: The first two sources may or may not provide significant coverage of this organisation, but in any case they aren't quite enough to satisfy WP:ORG.
    The third is an archive, and as such a portal to sources rather than a source per se. It appears to contain a lot of unpublished material (minutes, correspondence, etc.) which would not be acceptable as sources. There may be acceptable contents in it, but the way the citation is made (to the archive as a whole, rather than to any specific material therein) makes it impossible to verify this as I wouldn't know what I should be looking for. The author should point precisely to specific sources within the archive, whether wishing to use them to verify information in this draft and/or to establish notability.

Northwest Labor and Employment Law Office

Northwest LELO is an American labor organization founded by Black construction workers, Asian and Alaska Native cannery workers, and Latine farmworkers to fight racial discrimination in the workplace and in unions. LELO's tactics originally were centered around lawsuits but in the late 1980's became more focused on grassroots community organizing.[1][2][3]
