LA·LI

§ Audits

Companies, audited by workers.

A six-step public instrument. Chambers of Commerce convene. A Common Laborers' Union performs the audit. The reconfigured company becomes a Labor Innovation Department — for the parent firm to adopt and market.

  1. Stage 01

    Selection

    Chambers of Commerce nominate the largest LA-County firms. Companies are invited into their own audit — participation is the point.

  2. Stage 02

    Fieldwork

    A Common Laborers' Union and allied trades conduct the audit: contracts, working conditions, contractor chains, benefits architecture, consumer and citizen policy.

  3. Stage 03

    Reconfigure

    The company is re-drafted under labor-first tenets and stipulations. Output: a new entity spec and a proposed Labor Innovation Department.

  4. Stage 04

    Commission

    A union-based Patronage Commission reviews the reconfigured entity for endorsement, patronage, and funding referrals.

  5. Stage 05

    Integrate

    The parent company may absorb the reconfigured entity as its Labor Innovation Department — marketable as labor-inclusive.

  6. Stage 06

    Fund

    Local banks and the SBA extend capital on the policy of measurable LA-labor-market impact. Large firms co-fund.

Marketable posture

"Labor-inclusive" is not a slogan. It is a department, a contract, and a line item.
