摘要

摘要:2000年,美国劳联-产联正式支持大赦非法移民工人的呼吁,扭转了长期以来的政策,支持更大的限制和边境执法。这种新方法的根源可以追溯到20世纪70年代,当时工业劳动力中越来越多的无证工人挑战了有组织劳工的民族主义正统观念。以洛杉矶的国际女装工人工会(ILGWU)为例,我们展示了一个工会如何面对新的人口统计和组织现实,并认识到新移民对工会化的需求。激进的社区组织者、法律倡导者和工会组织人员创造了一种劳工公民权的实践,承认移民凭借对其劳动力的需求而有保留的权利。在新兴的新自由主义经济中,通过组织和集体谈判获得归属感的承诺受到国家权力和有组织劳工的结构性弱点的限制。尽管如此,ILGWU运动训练了一批组织者,他们将成为20世纪90年代洛杉矶工会热潮的核心。

The Border at Work: Undocumented Workers, the ILGWU in Los Angeles, and the Limits of Labor Citizenship
Abstract:In 2000, the AFL-CIO officially embraced the call for amnesty for undocumented immigrant workers, reversing long-standing policy in favor of greater restriction and border enforcement. The roots of this new approach stretched back to the 1970s, when the growing presence of undocumented workers in the industrial workforce challenged organized labor's nationalist orthodoxy. Taking the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) in Los Angeles as a case study, we show how one union confronted new demographic and organizing realities and recognized the demand for unionization among new immigrants. Radical community organizers, legal advocates, and union organizing staff created a practice of labor citizenship, the recognition of the immigrants' right to remain by virtue the demand for their labor. The promise of belonging through organizing and collective bargaining was limited by state power and the structural weakness of organized labor in the emerging neoliberal economy. Nevertheless, ILGWU campaigns trained a cohort of organizers that would become central to the union upsurge in Los Angeles during the 1990s.
