Coalition for Workforce Innovation

MISSION

To modernize federal workforce policy in the United States

Workplace and labor laws in the US are woefully outdated. They are restricting innovative working relationships and hampering economic opportunities for workers. A modern approach is needed that will benefit workers, consumers, businesses, and the economy.

The Coalition for Workforce Innovation is advocating for change. Bringing together diverse stakeholders representing technology companies, worker advocates, retail, and service industries, the coalition educates policymakers on the benefits of independent work and supports policy proposals that protect and empower individuals to choose nontraditional work arrangements.

PRINCIPLES

Individuals should have the freedom to determine how, when, and where they work

Those choosing independent work should be treated fairly under the law in terms of access to training, benefits, and certain protections

Empowerment and flexibility for workers will improve economic opportunities for workers and outcomes for organizations

Independent work should be applicable across all positions, platforms, and industries

Legal and regulatory consistency across states is vital for broad adoption of independent work
