Abstract
It is well known that the U.S. labor movement has, since 1990, increased its involvement with financial markets. It has done so through two primary modalities: shareholder activism focused on corporate governance and regulatory and legislative efforts at the federal level. For the most part, it has been a minority actor in these realms. The present research is an effort to measure various dimensions of these activities.
