| Abstract: | This article examines the record of quasi-unions. It finds that although they have sometimes helped workers who lack other means of representation, they have significant limitations and are unlikely to replace unions as the primary means of representation. It also finds that networks, consisting of sets of diverse actors including unions and quasi-unions, are more promising. The article identifies institutional bases for sustained networks, including shared information platforms, behavioral norms, common mission and governance mechanism that go well beyond what now exists in labour alliances and campaigns. |
