Open Source Unionism focuses on discovering effective tactics for union organizing, particularly tactics that will enable a sizeable leap in membership, such as 1 million or more a year, to regain some clout for the labor movement. Freeman and Rogers argue that unions should look back to the 1920s and 1930s, before the passage of the National Labor Relations Act, and consider building organizations in workplaces even where they lack a majority. In the pre-NLRA era, the American Federation of Labor constitution provided that any seven workers not already in unions could directly affiliate with the AFL.
At the Speakers Club program, Bill Pearson, president of United Food & Commercial Workers Local 789, will discuss the developing concept of open source unionism and the beginning efforts of Local 789 to apply these theories in organizing retail workers. He will be joined by Joe Burns, a labor lawyer and former AFSCME activist at the University of Minnesota Hospital, and a member of the Meeting the Challenge Committee. Burns will discuss how the passage of the NLRA impacted the labor movement's conceptions of what it means to form a union and the legal theory behind such concepts as open source unionism and minority status unions.
The Speakers Club program is free and open to the public.
