Questions are based on the article, “ Disunity Within the House of Labor: Change to Win or Stay the Course.”
The article discusses how the Change to Win Federation (CTWF) developed a new alliance separate from the AFL-CIO. The alliance encompasses seven major U.S. unions and represents 5.4 million workers. The CTWF set out with a mission to organize the unorganized and charge lower monthly member fees. The revenues from the dues would be solely used for reorganization. This new alliance can potentially increase union membership through increased competition with rival affiliates.
Please answer the following questions based on the article:
1. The article states, that labor's greatest period of growth was between 1935-1954, when there were two rival federations fighting for market share. Why do you think union membership rose during that period of increased rival competition? Do you see the same thing happening today?
2. According to the article it’s necessary for CTWF to figure out what nonunion workers want from their workplace representative and reshape its image and package of services. How can CTWF identify what nonunion workers want and reshape their image and service offerings?
3. Union participation is declining among younger workers. Why do you believe this is happening? If you were appointed as president of the CTWF, what would you do to boost participation of these workers?
