Although the relationship between social work and organized labor
dates from the turn of the century, labor union membership has only
been open to social workers since the late 1930s. Consequently, the
relationship between the profession and the unions is still in its
infancy. This volume presents a selection of essays that examine a
variety of issues. Chapters examine the history of early social
work and the labor unions, the common goals of the two
institutions, social licensure, and reclassification. Additional
essays address the compatibility of labor and social work, the
relationship between the social work profession and labor relations
law, issues of the social services workplace, and the implications
of the privatization of social services for union organizing. Other
relevant topics are also examined, including the implications of
social service technology for union organizing, prospects for the
future, and more theoretical and philosophic analyses of the
subject.
