Preferred term

new organizing strategies  

Definition

  • Since the 1980s, in response to aggressive employer antiunion activities and declining union membership, workers and unions have deployed new organizing strategies to defend existing union contracts and form new unions and new organizations. These new strategies have often not been novel so much as innovative applications of neglected older strategies. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Strategies, New Organizing]
