The Worker Institute at Cornell engages in research and education on contemporary labor issues, to generate innovative thinking and solutions to problems related to work, the economy, and society. The new Institute brings together researchers, educators, and students with practitioners in labor, business, and public policy to confront economic and social inequalities and to promote sustainable economic development and the creation of good jobs.

The Worker Institute is the newest Institute at the Cornell ILR School, which for over 60 years has provided support, education, and scholarship to assist working people in ensuring their rights on the job, and building effective organizations and strong communities.
