Same as It Ever Was? New Labor, the CIO Organizing Model, and the Future of American Unions*

Politics & Society, 2015, vol. 43, issue 3, 453-457

Abstract: Jane McAlevey makes a significant contribution in her critique of labor’s growing use of the corporate campaign to stem union decline. But in placing the blame for the strategy’s adoption on the excessive influence of Saul Alinsky’s organizing model, she misses a much more fundamental cause: the changed nature of capital.
