Coworker

Mission

At Coworker, we believe people should have agency and power in their work lives. Most of us will spend a third of our adult lives at work—more time than we will spend with our families, in school, or participating in our community’s civic life. And yet many of us are silenced and unseen at our jobs. We deserve to have a voice in shaping our working conditions and the ways in which work happens. We are powerful, and together, we can transform our jobs and workplaces.

Coworker is the leading global peer-based platform designed specifically to support workers of all kinds to spark true change in the workplace. Our team of advocacy experts and organizers back workers and groups alike by offering proven education and training, strategic support, research, data analysis, and a range of advocacy tools.

How do we ensure that our jobs are safe, satisfying, and secure in the 21st century? In what ways can working people effectively shift power in a rapidly changing economy? How do we create digital tools and communities for employees to share information, form collectives, and advocate for change? How do we prevent employers from dismantling hard-won labor and employment rights through increasingly sophisticated employer surveillance, data mining, and the fissuring of the workplace? At Coworker.org, we deploy digital tools, data, and strategies in service of helping people improve their work lives. Coworker.org is a laboratory for workers to experiment with power-building strategies and win meaningful changes in the 21st century economy.

At Coworker, we invest in the brilliance of workers like you by hosting and promoting your workplace petition campaigns, prototyping fresh ideas for wielding influence in your companies and industries, researching answers to questions you pose to us about your working conditions, and leveraging our vast network of workers in a wide variety of industries to reveal new insights, analysis, and data about what’s happening in our economy. We support the leadership and vision of working people to imagine, design, and create our collective future.
