A labor leader who helped win the $15 minimum wage in Seattle says unions aren't coming back — and the future of organizing is sector-wide

Rolf worked with Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi in 2018 to, instead of full-time employee status. This benefit system would still protect workers from on-the-job injuries and grant them sick leave, but keep them as independent contractors.

Rolf said a strong labor movement is still imperative for a strong middle class. But, he said, labor law reform will likely go the way of marijuana legalization: the grassroots movement will first push for policy change in local communities, which then make their way to state and federal legislature.

"We shouldn't be too rosy about whether we invented the next labor movement," Rolf said in Detroit. "We probably haven't yet, but all of its component parts are sitting out there somewhere. Like all innovation, it is a combination of old things and new things. We have to figure out which pieces of the old we can assemble into new."
