The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is a joint project between the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE).

EWOC began in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the beginning of EWOC's inception, the organization assisted workers organizing around COVID-19 workplace protections, including vaccine access and masking. Since then, EWOC has continued to grow. As of June 2023, EWOC was actively involved in 186 campaigns.

EWOC volunteers have assisted workers at various workplaces across the country, including Barboncino, a Crown Heights pizzeria. In July 2023, workers at Barboncino successfully voted to unionize with Workers United, becoming the first unionized pizzeria in New York City. EWOC has assisted organize workers in industries that have been neglected by the labor movement, including board game cafe workers in Chicago and Chipotle employees in Kansas.
