120 - Section on Labor and Labor Movements Paper Session. Barriers and Opportunities for Building A Labor Movement across Differences of Race, Gender, and Legal Status

Sat, August 20, 2:30 to 4:10pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

The labor movement is variably organized by region, industry, and historical period. While workers may share a class interest in organizing to improve working conditions and build a power base, inequalities rooted in race, gender and legal status often work against movement goals. Submissions to this panel will examine how race, gender, legal status, or other axes of inequality affect the emergence, process, and outcome of labor campaigns and labor movements.
