Southern Organizing in the Post-Civil Rights Era: The Case of S. Lichtenberg
研究服装纺织工人工会在佐治亚州一家窗帘厂成功组织工人的案例，分析后民权时代政治变化、种族性别宗教团结及工会策略如何促成胜利，对南方组织化和劳工运动有启示。
This case study examines the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers' Union's successful four-year effort (1988-91) to organize workers at S. Lichtenberg, a Georgia-based curtain manufacturer. The author uses archival research and extensive interviews with rank-and-file activists to determine why the union was able to triumph after earlier (1966 and 1971) failed attempts to organize. He finds that political changes in the post-civil rights South, the solidarity provided by race, gender, and religious identification, and the union's creative tactics coalesced in a winning strategy. The findings have significant implications not only for Southern organizing but also for the labor movement's renewed emphasis on attracting new members.
