Labor unions began creating new organizing strategies in the nineteen-eighties with the hope of increasing membership levels. This dissertation focuses on two such strategies: the "comprehensive campaign" utilized by the International Grocery Workers' Union (IGWU) and the "blitz" developed by the United States Clothing Workers' Union (USCWU). These strategies differ in one fundamental way; the amount of participation they elicit from the workforce being organized. I am interested in how different levels of participation influence workers' sentiments and actions regarding the union. The IGWU's "comprehensive campaign" is a top-down approach. Union officials collect unsavory information about the company in hopes of exchanging this information for union recognition. Workers' role in the campaign is reduced to signing union cards. The USCWU's "blitz" follows a grass-roots approach. With this strategy, union officials train workers to organize their fellow employees. An active worker contingency, then, helps to mobilize the workforce to vote union. Principles from participatory democracy suggest that when an authority structure incorporates participation, individuals feel more satisfied and committed to the organization. The act of participation also affects people behaviorally; participation teaches individuals how to be active. In order to analyze how the different campaign authority structures influenced workers, I interviewed two groups of employees; thirty of whom experienced the comprehensive campaign and twenty of whom participated in the blitz. Both organizing campaigns were successful and resulted in a union contract. I asked employees about their feelings towards the campaigns and their participation in the union after the campaigns ended. I found that workers from the "comprehensive campaign" perceived the union as a business and this conception of the union discouraged activism and left employees ultimately dissatisfied. Workers from the blitz, however, developed a "union as workers" framework. This framework motivated employees to be active after the organizing campaign and gave workers a sense of fulfillment. The findings from this study suggest that organizing strategies involve more than the ability of unions to increase the number of their rank-and-file. They are a crucial method in which workers learn to become active agents within the union.

Thesis advisor: Mark Gelfand / Labor in the United States has been commonly associated with images of industrialism, factories, and skilled craftsmen. This narrow vision of labor ignores the millions of Americans employed by the federal, state, and local governments. As early national labor law failed to define the rights of government employees, each state was forced to create their own public labor law through judicial rulings and state legislation. This study is framed around the struggles of Rhode Island public employees, specifically public school teachers, to obtain the right to organize and employ labor's greatest weapon, the strike. An in-depth examination of the 1975 Woonsocket Teachers' Guild strike incorporating the experiences of union officers, labor lawyers, and other participants provides a concrete example of the difficulties encountered by government employees against the courts, legislature, and public opinion. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2005. / Submitted to: Boston College.

O presente estudo analisa a legitimatio ad causam para as ações coletivas, em especial as que envolvem as relações de trabalho, sempre com ênfase na participação do sindicato como principal legitimado. A partir de premissas destacadas ao longo do texto, o estudo propõe uma legitimação privilegiada em favor do sindicato, permitindo a valorização da instituição, ampliando-se o conceito de democracia participativa para dentro do processo. O estudo da legitimação privilegiada foi ratificado pela análise do Direito projetado, assim como pelo sistema da class action, fonte inquestionável dos estudos sobre as demandas coletivas. Questões como o regime da coisa julgada ou o sistema de litisconsórcio nessas modalidades de ações, também fizeram parte do estudo, tendo o litisconsórcio necessário destaque especial. Desse modo, admitindo-se nas ações coletivas uma das formas mais modernas e eficazes de defesa dos interesses de massa, o estudo busca atribuir maior responsabilidade e prestigio aos sindicatos, na perspectiva de reconhecer em sua figura o representante adequado da class, contribuindo assim, com a tendência mundial de desenvolvimento sindical, lastreada na liberdade e representação abrangente. / The present study analyses the legitimatio ad causam for the collective actions , specially, those involving employment relationships, always with emphasis on the participation of the unions as the main legitimated. Based on the main assumptions in the text, this study proposes a privileged legitimation in unions favor, permitting the valorization of the institution, extending the concept of participative democracy in the proceeding. The privileged legitimizations study was ratified by the analysis of the bills, as well as the class actions system, unquestionable source of the essays on collective demands. Questions as the matter adjudged or the system of the joint action in those categories of actions also were part of the study, being the joint action a necessary special outstanding. Thus, admitting the collective actions as one of the most modern and efficient way of defense of the interest of the mass, the study expects to attribute more responsibility and prestige to the unions, in the perspective of recognizing in its figure the adequate representative of the class, contributing, with the worldwide tendency of union development, propagated in the freedom and comprehensive representation.
