Labor Law Reform from an Alt-Labor Perspective
from Part VI - Unions, Civil Society, and Culture
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 2019
Labor advocates and reformers have been searching for ways to organize workers and sustain the cause of labor in these difficult neoliberal times, when unions barely represent 6 percent of the private sector workforce. They have unsuccessfully tried to reform federal labor law for decades. A sharp partisan divide, the Senate filibuster, and the President’s veto, all smother reform in the crib.

Others have formed now what have been termed “alt-labor” organizations, such as worker centers.
