Diversifying Political Action in Retail

Kendra Coulter

Chapter Chapter 5 in Revolutionizing Retail, 2014, pp 125-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In recent years, there has been a marked increase in efforts to organize retail workers and improve retail work. There has also been an expansion and diversification of the routes and vehicles being used to unite workers and advocate for change. Both in North America and around the world, innovative structures and strategies are being developed and used. Accordingly, in retail, organizing is not merely a synonym for unionizing. This chapter highlights a number of the contemporary forms of political action being used in retail.
