Labor unions have been instrumental in creating and reproducing the disadvantaged status of marginalized workers on the one hand, while also serving as key agents in empowering and transforming the standing and plight of these workers on the other. I examine the incorporation of marginalized workers in U.S. unions and provide an explanation for the contradictions and differences in labor union behavior and politics. I generate a new descriptive and explanatory framework by developing a political theory of labor union behavior structured around the three concepts of recognition, representation and redistribution. This framework helps us make sense of what unions do at a basic level and how marginalized workers are affected.

520 $a Labor unions have been instrumental in creating and reproducing the disadvantaged status of marginalized workers on the one hand, while also serving as key agents in empowering and transforming the standing and plight of these workers on the other. I examine the incorporation of marginalized workers in U.S. unions and provide an explanation for the contradictions and differences in labor union behavior and politics. I generate a new descriptive and explanatory framework by developing a political theory of labor union behavior structured around the three concepts of recognition, representation and redistribution. This framework helps us make sense of what unions do at a basic level and how marginalized workers are affected.
520 $a By developing and testing a new hypothesis, I assess unions' behavior with explicit attention to marginalized workers: workers of color, women workers, and gay and lesbian workers. Utilizing a nested analysis approach by combining quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analyses including an original survey of national and Chicago-area labor unions, in-depth interviews with union leaders, primary sources, and ethnography, I find that there is great variation in unions' incorporation of marginalized workers. My thesis is that, ceteris paribus, the extent, levels and type of union incorporation of historically excluded groups of workers is best explained by internal organizational factors, or what I call a union's organizing capacity. I argue that these internal institutional factors play a significant role in determining union behavior. This is in contrast to existing literature and scholars' emphases on the influence of external structural and political factors. In addition, I examine one of several possible processes by which labor unions change to incorporate marginalized workers. Through an in-depth case study of Chicago-based UNITE-HERE Local 1, I analyze one union's efforts to incorporate marginalized workers and address the multiple inequalities they face, particularly ascriptive inequalities structured around race, ethnicity and gender. This transformation calls into question basic assumptions about stasis and change in political organizations. This research also shows that the assumed divisions between class and identity can be transformed into a basis for the mobilization of previously excluded groups within unions.
