Abstract:

In this paper I argue that the dichotomous framing of identity vs. class politics in American labor politics is inadequate, particularly in a context where issues of class, race, and gender are often embedded simultaneously in systems of complex inequality . Through examining a case study of union change, my research shows that the assumed divisions around class and identity can be transformed into a basis for the mobilization of previously excluded groups within unions, and that political organizations under certain conditions do change to incorporate multiple identities and groups.
