My report on Alt-Labor was just published by @EconomicPolicy: "Alt-Labor’s turn toward politics and public policy to combat the exploitation of low-wage workers: Building power and ‘punching above their weight’" epi.org/215897 #UnequalPower
Alt-labor groups support & organize vulnerable low-wage workers who have found it exceedingly difficult to unionize under current labor law. Over the last 2 decades, they have increasingly turned to politics and policy (vs unions/direct action) to combat workplace exploitation.
In a relatively short amount of time, they have met with an impressive number of policy victories that have created new rights and protections for workers where none previously existed.
