Los Angeles,
labor inclusive.

An organizing frame for unions, chambers of commerce, banks, and the largest employers of Los Angeles County to build a shared civic instrument: Labor Innovation Departments—inside companies, inside city hall, and inside the Citizens Museums where contracts become public knowledge.

§ 01

Four Pillars

A niche, marketable partnership: labor inclusion as a competitive posture for the largest companies in Los Angeles.

01

Labor Innovation Department

A named function inside partnered companies: contracts, worker voice, and citizen policy under one roof.

02

Union-Led Audits

The Common Laborers' Union and allied trades audit the largest firms in LA County, in partnership with Chambers of Commerce.

03

Labor-First Reconfiguration

Audited companies are reconfigured under labor-first tenets and marketed back to a Union Patronage Commission.

04

Bank Alignment

Local banks fund reconfigured firms on the policy position of measurable impact to the LA labor market.

§ 02 — Mechanism

Unions audit. Chambers convene. Banks fund. Museums remember.

    Audit

    Union teams audit the largest LA-County companies, in partnership with local Chambers of Commerce.

    Firms are re-drafted under labor-first tenets; a Union Patronage Commission signs on.

  3. Step C

    Integrate

    Parent companies adopt the reconfigured entity as their Labor Innovation Department.

  4. Step D

    Fund

    Local banks extend capital on the policy of labor-market impact; large firms co-fund.

§ 03

Allied cities.
A global forum.

Space contracts recently reaching upward of ten million dollars are within our own reach — and never at the cost of partnership. We convene allied cities near and abroad to explore international contract and union innovation: cross-border investment, worker-and-training exchanges, and citizen-centered corporate policy.

Large global businesses are invited to Los Angeles — by video or in person — to sit with our Chambers of Commerce on contract innovation, national/regional/local development objectives, and the receptivity of banks to linear development metered by economic analysis and debate.
