Activists often participate in more than one social movement and
organization. Bridging organizations are formed by activists who
feel that the movements in which they are participating do not
adequately address the various issues they are involved in. The
author provides a case study of the Coalition of Labor Union Women
(CLUW), an organization which was founded in 1974. Using the CLUW
as a model, the author demonstrates how one organization can
address the needs of diverse social movements, in this case the
women's movement and the labor movement. By tracing the formation
and development of the CLUW, the author illustrates and elaborates
on her theories concerning social movements and bridging
organizations. She uses historical documents, first hand accounts,
and a case study approach to analyze the interrelatedness of
oppression, opposition, social change, movement change, and
personal change associated with social movements and bridging
organizations. Detailing the obstacles the CLUW faces, the author
makes clear how important such organizations are as well as how
difficult it can be to negotiate the collective identity of its
members and reconcile the needs of various social groups
represented therein.
