Community–Labor Coalitions for Progressive Change

Abstract

In the current neo-liberal economic and political climate, the labor movement faces immense challenges for survival and efficacy. As a massive redistribution of wealth upward has occurred, poverty is growing along with low-wage and insecure employment. The labor movement is developing new strategies that incorporate community organizing and local community issues into its issues as it organizes low-wage workers, often urban residents. Among these are living wage campaigns, community benefits agreements, and building regional progressive power. Many opportunities for collaboration with social work and involvement by social workers, particularly community practitioners, exist in these developments.
