At a time when the American labor movement is mobilizing for a
major resurgence through new organizing, here, at last, is a book
about research on union organizing strategies. Previous studies
have focused on factors contributing to union decline, devoting
little attention to the organizing process itself. The twenty
chapters in this volume dramatically increase understanding of the
range and effectiveness of new organizing strategies and their
potential contribution to the revitalization of the labor movement.
The introduction defines the context of the current organizing
climate. Major sections of the book cover strategic initiatives in
union organizing, overcoming barriers to worker support for unions,
community-based organizing, building membership and public support
for organizing, and organizing initiatives by industry or by
sector. Individual chapters focus on topics such as organizing
outside the NLRB process, the role of clergy, local labor councils,
and rank-and-file volunteer organizers.
