First published in 1997, the U.S. labor movement has suffered from membership decline during the post-World War era. Between 1945 and 1994, the percentage of unionized workers in the non-agricultural labor force has steadily declined from 35.5% to 15.5% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1995). The size of the labor movement is critical to an understanding of the role in society of collective bargaining. This study investigates how socioeconomic status divisions within the working class affect worker dispositions to unionize.

This open access book investigates how trade unions representing different social classes use YouTube videos for renewal purposes. Information and communication technology has undoubtedly offered new opportunities for social movements, but while research suggests that these new means of communication can be used for trade union revitalization, few studies have examined what unions actually do on social media. By analysing more than 4500 videos that have been uploaded by Swedish trade unions, Jansson and Uba explore how unions use YouTube to address issues such as recruiting new members, improving internal democracy, promoting political campaigns and constructing (new) self-images. The results demonstrate that trade unions representing a range of social classes use different revitalization strategies via YouTube. This research will be of use to students and scholars researching European politics and political participation, trade unionism and labour movements in the digital age.
