What We re Reading: April 2021

Worker Voice Harold Meyerson, The American Prospect) “Unions have been having a rough time even in large workplaces, as their recent defeat at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, makes depressingly clear. What recourse is there, then, for those workers whom the law, the logic of large-scale organizing, and the attention of society all ignore?” Amanda Kludt, Eater) “If we, as a society, as an economy, as an industry, are in such a rush to reopen, then why are we not vaccinating these workers first and foremost”? Many restaurant workers earn less than minimum wage. As these essential workers are being asked to do “much more for so much less,” how many of them will vote with their feet, and what would make them stay?

The Funding Dilemma

The Funding Dilemma Unlike unions, worker centers canât be sustained by their membersâ dues. So survival is an ongoing challenge. The art of financially sustaining a configuration of working people has bedeviled alt-labor organizations from the get-go. Even now, they remain locked in a careful, complicated dance with the foundations, unions, and individual donors who subsidize their work. Mainstream unions were able to achieve economic independence due to a convergence of historical forces in the 1930s, which led to wide-scale collective bargaining in an era of relatively supportive governmental infrastructure; that, in turn, made it possible for unions to assess and collect dues from their members and establish robust funding for their ongoing work.
