Yet discussions of organic food often leave out issues of race and class, and the people who grow, transport, cook, and serve the food are often invisible. Work in food service is done by a largely female and person of color labor force and dominated by low wages, scanty benefits, precarious work, subcontracting, and a lack of access to health care and nutritious foods—conditions endemic to the broader service sector. The UNITE HERE Real Food Real Jobs campaign is an attempt to bring together issues of sustainability, nutrition, and food access with worker justice and transform the food system from the shop floor. Drawing on participant observation and discourse analysis of UNITE HERE campaign materials, I use the campaign at American University of Washington, DC (AU) as a case study to explore the food issues facing workers and how sustainability measures can be incorporated into collective bargaining to improve working conditions, increase job security, and engage workers in promoting safe and local foods. The campaign provides opportunities to build alliances with students, food activists, and health advocates. I contextualize the campaign within the broader literature on union revitalization and coalition building as well","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127768171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vohra","doi":"10.2190/WR.14.3.C","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2190/WR.14.3.C","url":null,"abstract":"There is limited research on work alienation in contemporary management studies. One of the possible reasons is the lack of a parsimonious and validated measure of work alienation. The present study reports the construction and evaluation of a new scale for measuring work alienation, in the interest of facilitating further research in this area and aiding the detection and assessment of worker alienation, providing cues to which management should pay attention for any consequent correction, if needed. In Study 1, we developed an initial scale in order to assess the construct and administered it to 99 management executives in India. Exploratory factor analysis led to a revised unidimensional scale, which was then administered to a second sample. In Study 2 (N = 371), confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and the reliability and validity of the scale was assessed. The results indicate good psychometric properties for the newly developed measure of work alienation, providing a robust measure for its use in testing worker alienation and facilitating any required correction to ensure enhanced employee well-being. The concept of alienation has a rich history in the social sciences and is discussed across a broad range of subjects such as theology, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and psychiatry (see Johnson, 1973, for a review of the usage of the","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115693282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, emancipatory education need not be in conflict with capitalism. This article explores critical literacy possibilities that synergistically serve employees and support organisational growth. Drawing from literature on adult education and critical literacy, the intent of this article is to make explicit the potential of workplace contexts to promote critical education practices that are attentive to issues of social justice. FORMATIVE INFLUENCES As evidenced by the increasing number of adult and workplace education programs in Canada, there is a growing interest in literacy and its influence in promoting success for adults. I became aware of this trend when I was approached by a large corporation that, although financially successful, was struggling to retain engaged employees. This problem was particularly evident among frontline workers, many of whom had lower than desired literacy levels and, because of their rotating shift work, no way to pursue academic upgrading. The company sought the support of the provincial Department of Education in the form of an at-arm’s-length organisational needs assessment (ONA). The findings of the ONA indicated that employees were seeking continuous learning opportunities that would allow them increased mobility and, simultaneously, demonstrate the","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116879109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
