Amplifying voices

The Center for Work and Democracy was founded in 2019 to connect university knowledge production to the challenges facing working people in our increasingly plutocratic society. The Center understands that working people have been marginalized in our polity, and conducts research with organizations whose missions are to increase the voice and power of the working class in order to support greater social change.

The Breakroom

In a workplace, the breakroom is often the epicenter of organizing efforts. At the Center, The Breakroom functions similarly. Watch video explainers from our staff; dive into publications and news about the Center and its projects; and read posts from labor scholars and organizers alike in our blog, Watercooler Talk, to learn more about the labor movement and worker organizing.
