Abstract

To increase density in the private sector, unions should explore a form of unionization that is open to nonmajority memberships. This form–‐which the authors call “open source” unionism–‐would make extensive use of the Internet to deliver individual services to workers. This article describes current union activity heading in this general direction. It assesses the legal and administrative feasibility of open source unionism and suggests ways unions could develop it further.
