Concept information

Preferred term

social movement unionism  

Definition(s)

  • The role of unions as formal organizations that stabilize and institutionalize labor relations has long been a tenet of “mature” industrial societies. This entry examines social movement unionism, an alternative form of unionism to this conventional notion of unions that marries unions as formal organizations to the radicalism and direct protest embodied in social movements.
