Community-engaged Research in Practice: Staffing Cooperative of the Los Angeles (LA) Garment Worker Center.

eScholarship UC item 6bf3n6x7.pdf

Abstract

This community-engaged research is grounded in the experiences of Los Angeles (LA) garment workers. Therefore, we affirm the principle that workers should be actively involved in shaping their own working conditions. The purpose of this research, then, is to situate a Garment Worker Center (GWC) staffing cooperative (or staffing coop) in the LA garment industry to further advance workers’ rights and leverage their skills and expertise, by conducting an initial customer exploration. Doing so allows the GWC’s staffing cooperative to pursue a business model that is competitive and feasible in the LA garment industry.
