Overview
The Worker Empowerment Research Network at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a diverse interdisciplinary network of labor market researchers, created to study worker efforts to achieve greater voice and representation at work, focusing especially on efforts pursued by workers of color, women, immigrants, and others who have faced exclusion, discrimination, or marginalization. The network will provide up-to-date information on the types, number, and impacts of organizing efforts to the public, policymakers, labor and workforce advocates, business leaders, and other groups in civil society who share an interest in rebuilding worker voice and well-being; ensuring stronger long-term economic outcomes; and fostering equitable, inclusive, and productive businesses and employment relationships.
