Labor is the central point.

Contracts, their implications, their history, and their innovation are exhibited, debated, and re-drafted in the Citizens Museums of Los Angeles. Labor is invited to explore. Business is invited to sit at the same table.

A Common Laborers' Union — allied with the trades — conducts the audits of the largest firms in LA County. It carries the technical authority to re-draft a company under labor-first tenets and stipulations.

The reconfigured entity is presented to a union-based commission for patronage and funding referral. Endorsement is the marketable signal that a Labor Innovation Department is real, not decorative.

Unions are invited to explore, draft, and propose a permanent City of Los Angeles Department of Labor — as counterpart to the City's Economic and Workforce Development Department and the County's Economic Opportunity office.

We invite allied cities and nations that advocate for expanded worker exchange and training exchange. Contract innovation is a global conversation; Los Angeles convenes it.
