Victories in the New Economy For the New Labour Movement

Via Libcom I came across this article from the San Francisco Chronicle on an organisation called Young Workers United, and its founder called Flocks - as the title suggest the group enters terrains of employment where traditional unions have had little luck, concious of shifting patterns in employment the organisation aims to develop a working methodology suited to the conditions its members find themselves in. For them this strategy is the workers centre,something I'd always assumed was had more of an expression among migrant communities.. Damn nice website they have too.

[i]Changes in the economy, decline of union representation and turmoil within organized labor have allowed new groups with radical organizing strategies to develop and take the place of traditional labor organizing in some areas.
