About us

Cultural Workers Organize is a collaborative research project examining worker-led efforts to collectively transform material conditions in media, tech, and cultural industries in a context of labour precarity, industrial flux, and technological change. Understanding cultural workers as agents of resistance and builders of alternatives, Cultural Workers Organize research explores diverse forms and practices of collective organizing, including unions, co-operatives, alternative worker organizations, and policy advocacy.
