Abstract: This comment questions Jane McAlevey’s attempt to move from a participant observation of one organizing campaign to broad generalizations about the failure of “New Labor.†It challenges the ideal type that she constructs by considering aspects of another “new labor†local, and problematizes her conception of interests as they pertain to both workers and unions.
