We have touched on the debate about the role and possible merits of alt-labor at various points in this lesson commentary. In 2015, the New Labor Forum, a journal publication of the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, published a piece from labor strategist Lance Compa, as well as a set of replies from other noted labor activists and educators. Compa's piece was entitled "Careful What You Wish For (Links to an external site.)," and offered his views on several theories and trends in the context of rebuilding the labor movement, among them, alt-labor. The bulk of the replies (Links to an external site.) agree with part, and disagree with part of Compa's analysis, making for a spirited and substantive debate.
Based on your understandings of the U.S. labor relations system, and of alt-labor, in an essay of approximately....., discuss own response to Compa, noting the possible implications of alt-labor's impact on and relationship to traditional labor unions, social movements, and labor law.
In your response, make reference to at least two alt-labor organizations or campaigns. You may use any of those that were mentioned or referenced in this lesson, though you are not limited to these.
ANYONE KNOWS THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH THIS ESSAY?
