The Worker Power Dividend: Labor, Capital & the Missing Infrastructure

What if the most powerful allies for the American labor movement aren’t union organizers — they’re asset managers, private equity partners, and institutional investors? Workers are organizing at a pace not seen in generations, yet the technological infrastructure to match that momentum has been slow to develop. Meanwhile, corporate union opposition and surveillance have increased. This session explores how Workizen and new technology platforms are scaling worker voice from the bottom-up and how private-equity investors are building top-down ownership cultures for greater returns. Participants tackle a real investor scenario and contribute to Workizen’s Voice-to-Value framework — making the case that unlikely allies are already in the room.
