Social Movements, Leadership in
Social movement leaders act and make decisions on behalf of the movements they represent and therefore wield influence on the movement's trajectory. In this light, early scholarship addressed how leaders' personal qualities affect the character and actions of their movements. Mills notably identified union leader characteristics as telling of the distinctions between the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. S…
Unions and Race
Unions become involved in the construction of race, ethnicity, and nationalism by means of the organizational practices they develop and their interactions with employers. Although employers have been the major actors in fomenting racial antagonism and in structuring labor market dynamics that disadvantage workers of color and women, unions act to either reproduce or challenge these social relations. Early craft unions tended to reproduce such st…
US Union and Workers' Movements, Past and Future
The last half century of US labor movement history is characterized by dramatic decline in both density and (since 1979) real numbers. While unions and union federations in the mainstream union movement have attempted to adjust, developments outside their sphere have been especially prominent: the rise of independent unions and the initiation of alternative forms of workers movements. With union decline, community labor organizations [typified by…
Ideological Hegemony
Ideological hegemony refers to the embedding of relations of domination and exploitation in the dominant ideas of society. When internalized, these dominant ideas induce consent to these relationships on the part of the dominated and exploited. Consistent with the interconnected world in which we live, there are as many levels of ideological hegemony as there are levels of society
Unions
Unions are collections of workers who join together for the purpose of defending their common interests as employees. In capitalist societies, union representation provides many workers with their only potential for meaningful input in their workplaces. These workers benefit from unions because employers alone possess legal rights and authority over their property (both land and machinery), and therefore any single worker has limited bargaining p…
Ideological Hegemony
Ideological hegemony theorizes the way in which relationships of domination and exploitation are embedded in the dominant ideas of society. To the extent that dominant ideas are internalized, they induce consent to these relationships on the part of the dominated and exploited. Consistent with the interconnected world in which we live, there are as many levels of ideological hegemony as there are levels of society
Strangers to Their Own Class
The central question addressed is whether constitutional democracy, institutionalized opposition, and radical leadership tend to narrow the vertical social distance between the officers and members of industrial unions. The empirical analysis utilizes data on the Congress of Industrial Organizations unions during the late 1940s. The argument is that both union democracy and radicalism tend to sustain a close identification between workers and the…
