Organizing and Union Strategy

Sat, August 8, 4:00 to 5:30pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

With unions continuing a pattern of secular decline over the past several decades, the question of how to organize to reverse the decline is more urgent than ever. There are considerable barriers to organizing, and differ depending on the groups of workers being organized. Meanwhile, employers have if anything increased their anti-union hostility as union power has weakened. For their part, unions have tried different strategies, but without a clear assessment of which work best in different contexts. This session brings together a group of papers that discuss the challenges and opportunities that unions face as they seek to organize and rebuild worker power.
