Professor Erin Kelly has described how ever-increasing demands on workers' time rob them of their health, security, and even the ability to get a good night's sleep. In this context, unions may come to seem like a palatable alternative.

These centers focus on forging connections and sharing resources among workers across sectors. Professor Emeritus Tom Kochan has found that these worker centers can play an integral role in amplifying worker voice.
