Tattersall, Amanda. 2008. "Coalitions and community unionism: Using the term community to explore effective union-community collaboration." Journal of Organizational Change Management 21, no. 4: 415-432.
- definition of community unionism
- community is used as a short-cut for describing community organization (417)
- community describes a group of people with common interests or identities
- community means a place
- thus community unionism has all these bits, can be further named in three ways
- strategy of coalition unionism: coalitions between unions and community groups
- strategy of organizing workers on common identities (418)
- place-based organizing strategies
- two downsides of teh current coalition schlarship:
- there is a tendency to describe practices rather than evaluate them (419)
- too often choose case studies that exemplify good practices rather than conceptualizing key variables to better understand what causes coalition success
- focuses mainly on coalitions between unions and community groups (i.e. preformed groups)
