An Overview of US Workers’ Current Organizing Efforts and Collective Actions
本文概述了美国工人为增强工作场所话语权和代表性而发起的集体行动浪潮,包括工会组织和其他替代性努力,并指出雇主强烈抵制是成功的主要障碍。
American workers are currently engaged in an upsurge in collective actions aimed at achieving a stronger voice and representation at work; this desire for increased voice at work is also evident in survey data. However, union organizing drives in the United States typically meet with strong employer resistance, and such resistance reduces the likelihood that the organizing effort will be successful. In addition to unions, a broad array of other efforts has been initiated to strengthen worker voice and representation. The authors discuss these efforts, including worker centers, and observe that there is no “one size fits all” approach to contemporary worker organizing.
