Community Unionism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Community Unionism describes the various ways in which trade unions can work with communities and community organisations. In this sense, the definition of the concept is as broad and multi-faceted as that of 'community'. Community Unionism is strongly linked in recent practice to Social Movement Unionism and the organising model of trade unionism.
