Our Center fosters cross-disciplinary scholarship, student engagement, and community involvement to address pressing and emerging labor and employment issues faced by our most vulnerable working populations.
With a focus on race, class, gender, and immigration status, CLAW combines robust legal, policy, and empirical research and analysis to develop solutions to what is broken in our current structures of work, and to chart a promising future of progressive labor policy that is inclusive of all workers and promotes a vibrant and equitable economy.
CLAW draws upon Berkeley’s thriving intellectual community and our multiple decades of expertise, as thought leaders in academia and the public and non-profit sectors, to raise, lead, and envision an innovative law and policy platform that advances worker equity and a more fair and just economy. Your generosity supports CLAW’s ability to connect faculty, scholars, and students to lawyers, activists, grassroots organizations, research and policy institutions, public agencies, policymakers, and other stakeholders — in order to grow a collective brain trust dedicated to developing much-needed equity reforms to laws and policies around work, working relationships, and income support programs when workers are unable to work.
