Alt Labor? Why We Still Need Traditional Labor, Martin Malin

All Faculty Scholarship

With union density falling to alarmingly low levels and dropping, many have largely written off traditional business unionism and have turned to so-called alt-labor forms of worker empowerment, particularly worker centers.
