Social Movement Unionism

Social Movement Unionism is a strategy where labor unions collaborate with broader social and community groups to advocate for workers' rights and social justice causes. Instead of focusing solely on workplace issues, these unions engage in wider social and political initiatives, aiming to build alliances that can transform societal conditions. This approach often involves organizing protests, campaigns, and policy advocacy to address issues like income inequality, environmental justice, and human rights, recognizing that broader social change benefits workers and communities alike.
