Little Labor

Josh Eidelson explores the rise of nonunion labor groups — 20 years ago, there were five, now there are 214 — and possibly also the future of labor organizing in this country. (“As unions face declining membership these workers’ groups — like the mostly union-free job sectors they organize — are on the rise, particularly in New York. Because of their efforts, more restaurant workers in the city get paid sick days, domestic workers receive overtime pay, and taxi drivers will soon have health insurance.”)
