Abstract

American workers are currently engaged in an upsurge in collective actions aimed at achieving a stronger voice and representation at work; this desire for increased voice at work is also evident in survey data. However, union organizing drives in the United States typically meet with strong employer resistance, and such resistance reduces the likelihood that the organizing effort will be successful. In addition to unions, a broad array of other efforts has been initiated to strengthen worker voice and representation. The authors discuss these efforts, including worker centers, and observe that there is no “one size fits all” approach to contemporary worker organizing.

美国工人当前的组织努力和集体行动综述

美国工人目前正在掀起一场集体行动的高潮，目的是在工作中获得更大的发言权和代表权;在调查数据中，这种希望在工作中增加发言权的愿望也很明显。然而，在美国，工会组织运动通常会遇到雇主的强烈抵制，这种抵制降低了组织努力成功的可能性。除了工会之外，还开展了一系列其他努力，以加强工人的发言权和代表权。作者讨论了这些努力，包括工人中心，并观察到当代工人组织没有“一刀切”的方法。
