UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Advancing Immigrant Worker Rights through Labor-Community Coalition: Comparative Case Studies on Strategy of the CLEAN Carwash Campaign A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Social Welfare by Mindy Minyi Chen 2017 © Copyright by Mindy Minyi Chen 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Advancing Immigrant Worker Rights through Labor-Community Coalitions: Comparative Case Studies on Strategy of the CLEAN Carwash Campaign by Mindy Minyi Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Social Welfare University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Yeheskel Hasenfeld, Co-Chair Professor Edward T. Walker, Co-Chair Since 2008, a coalition known as the CLEAN Carwash Campaign has been organizing car wash workers in Los Angeles. How did CLEAN manage the divergent interests of its coalition members and strategize? What is it about CLEAN that led the labor-community coalition to achieve gains for carwasheros when conventional wisdom dictates that low wage immigrant workers were too vulnerable to be unionized? Given the dearth of empirical research into how social movement coalitions strategize and how campaign strategies link to outcomes, this dissertation seeks to add to the understanding of social movement strategies by examining the CLEAN Carwash Campaign to answer the following three questions: ÿ What are the strategies used by the CLEAN Carwash Campaign? ÿ How are CLEAN’s strategies determined? ÿ How do strategies relate to outcomes? ii For the dissertation research, I conducted comparative case studies of four local campaigns undertaken by the CLEAN Carwash Campaign in two distinct regions of Los Angeles—the Westside and South LA. A two-by-two case study design across two victorious and two failed cases was used to understand CLEAN’s campaign strategy development and subsequent outcomes. Findings suggest that strategy setting is influenced by a complex array of structural factors including interaction with targets, workers, and allies that shape available tactical options. Outcomes of victories and losses demonstrate the challenges for campaign leadership in pursuing choices that take advantage of target vulnerabilities, foster worker ownership and commitment in organizing, rally community and coalition support, and capitalize contextual political opportunities. iii The dissertation of Mindy Minyi Chen is approved.

These drinkers account for approximately 68% of all alcohol consumption by U.S. college students. 3 Progress in reducing heavy, episodic drinking among college students has been slow. One positive note is an increase in the percentage of students who abstain from drinking.

  • Why Do Parties Cooperate in Presidentialism?
    WHY DO PARTIES COOPERATE IN PRESIDENTIALISM? ELECTORAL AND GOVERNMENT COALITION FORMATION IN LATIN AMERICA ¿Por qué los partidos cooperan en sistemas presidenciales? Formación de coaliciones electorales y de gobierno en América Latina KENNETH BUNKER Universitá degli Studi di Milano [email protected] Cómo citar/Citation Bunker, K. (2019). Why do parties cooperate in presidentialism? Electoral and government coalition formation in Latin America. Revista de Estudios Políticos, 186, 171-199. doi: https://doi.org/10.18042/cepc/rep.186.06 Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore coalition formation in presidential sys- tems using evidence from Latin America. It puts forward three hypotheses based on formateur power, electoral structures and party systems to explore when and why electoral and government coalition formation occurs. It uses evidence stemming from eighteen democratic presidential regimes in Latin America from 1980 to 2010. It looks at 100 elections and 407 aggregate years of democratic government. It anal- yses data organized in a cross-sectional time-series fashion through a logit function with random effects and robust standard errors. It finds that in democracies with weak presidents, restrictive electoral rules and highly fragmented party systems, the president will seek the support of multiple parties. While the effective number of par- ties is the most important determinant, rules related to legislative elections are more important predictors of electoral coalitions, and those related to presidential elections are more important predictors of government coalitions. The findings in this article are important insofar as yielding critical insight into partisan strategies in both the run-up to elections and the maintenance of governments, as well as contributing to a general theory of coalition formation.

    BIG LEARNING IN SMALL COMMUNITIES: EXPLORING WITH YPAR IN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS Lora Elaine Hawkins Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Lora Hawkins All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT BIG LEARNING IN SMALL COMMUNITIES: EXPLORING WITH YPAR IN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS Lora Hawkins This study is a critical evaluation conducted by a Youth-led Participatory Action research team that has, over the course of five years, sought to investigate culturally responsive pedagogies in international schools populated with Third Culture Kids. Previous to this work, the youth researchers and I developed an interdisciplinary, choice and project-based honors program which we called the Small Learning Community. As such, this program became the object of and context for this review. We were guided by the question, What are, if any, the perceived learning benefits for students in the Small Learning Community?, and we sought to critically evaluate the program’s perceived impact on meaningful learning experiences, student agency, and transference of skills. We leveraged constructivist-oriented Grounded Theory—in part because of the value this approach assigns to emic knowledge—to examine interview transcripts of SLC participants. I then developed case studies and argue for pedagogical shifts in the international classroom that center more deliberately on (1) active participation, (2) the perception of new, (3) choice, (4) attention to process, (5) personal interest, and (6) social emotional learning, while addressing the need for more intentional and systematic practitioner research.

  • Subsystem Interconnectedness As Part of Coalition Strategies for Policy Change: Mining and Water Management in Ecuador Between 1991 and 2010
    Subsystem interconnectedness as part of coalition strategies for policy change: mining and water management in Ecuador between 1991 and 2010. Paúl Cisneros*† 1. Introduction The policy subsystem is the main unit of analysis in several theoretical frameworks that study policy processes including Punctuated Equilibrium, Social Construction and Policy Design and the Advocacy Coalition Framework (Jochim & May, 2009) . For over a decade, scholars refining these frameworks have focused on the emergence, change, and destruction of subsystems, paying little attention to interactions between subsystems as a potential avenue for policy change (Jones & Jenkins-Smith, 2009). More recently, scholars working within the research program of the ACF have expressed interest in exploring "subsystem interconnectedness and how exogenous drivers intervene with internal subsystem factors in producing policy change" Douglas, Ingold, Nohrstedt, and Weible (2014, p. 306). These studies show how coalitions use interactions between levels of governance to maintain their preferred policies in specific subsystems (Montefrio, 2014) and how opportunity structures impact coalition strategies in different types of subsystems (Gupta, 2014). Our study is inscribed in this emerging literature and explores subsystem interconnectedness as part of coalition strategies to attempt policy change. In this paper we show that studying subsystem interconnectedness could be of particular importance to understand policy change in nascent subsystems in unstable political environments. Drawing from social movements literature (Meyer, 2005; Tarrow, 2011), we argue that regime instability opens opportunities for revisionist coalitions to strategize the interactions between new or existing subsystems and the macro system in order to advance their policy objectives. These strategies should be more prevalent where subsystems do not enjoy great autonomy and complex policy communities have not yet developed.

  • 1 the Grand Bargain
    The Grand Bargain: Revitalizing Labor through NLRA Reform and Radical Workplace Relations Michael M. Oswalt [email protected] The seventieth anniversary of the enactment of the National Labor Relations Act1 (NLRA or Act) prompted renewed reflection on its viability to effectively govern relations between labor and management in the modern workplace.2 For supporters of the American labor movement, the occasion was not a cause for celebration.3 Although surveys showed that a clear majority of workers would vote for a union if an election were held in their workplace,4 by 2006 the percentage of private wage-earners in unions had shrunk to 7.4 percent,5 less than a third of the level reported in the early 1970s.6 That the statute valiantly proclaimed the protection of the *JD, Duke University School of Law, expected May, 2008; MTS, Duke University School of Divinity, expected May, 2008; BA, Haverford College, 2000.

  • BEATING GLOBAL CAPITAL: a Framework and Method for Union Strategic Corporate Research and Campaignsi
    BEATING GLOBAL CAPITAL: A Framework and Method for Union Strategic Corporate Research and Campaignsi TOM JURAVICH As unions around the globe struggle to survive in the face of the globalization of firms combined with unprecedented employer opposition to unions, it is clear that new approaches, strategies, and tactics are imperative. The ways of organizing and bargaining forged during the 1950s and 1960s in many industrialized nations – approaches that often relied heavily on the law and administrative proceduralism – have been deeply challenged as workers now find themselves on a world stage employed by global firms. If labor has any hope of remaining a source of power for working people on the job and in their communities, it must find a way to pick up the gauntlet thrown down by global capital in this new environment. One of the fundamental ways that the labor movement is rising to this challenge is through strategic corporate research and the development of comprehensive strategic campaigns in both organizing and collective bargaining. Sometimes referred to as simply strategic or coordinated campaigns, or by the older nomenclature of corporate campaigns, this approach recognizes that to be successful, unions need to gain a comprehensive understanding of the firm and the industry in which it is situated. Only as a product of this kind of research and analysis can unions then design the appropriate strategies and tactics to be successful, taking into account both how power flows through the firm and how vulnerabilities can be exploited. The comprehensive strategic campaigns that result go far beyond traditional organizing and bargaining and develop creative and complex processes that pressure firms in a multitude of ways.

  • Between 1976 and 1993, US Per Capita Consumption of Beef Declined by 32%, While the Per Capita Consumption of Chicken Increased by 73%
    When Chickens Devoured Cows: The Collapse of National Bargaining in the Red Meat Industry and Union Rebuilding in the Meat and Poultry Industry Revised October 26, 2012 Jeffrey Keefe School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers University and Mathias Bolton Senior Coordinator at UNI Global Union Geneva Area, Switzerland -1- This paper examines the consequences of the collapse of the national bargaining structure in the American meat industry during the 1980s. It argues the driving force behind the collapse was the substitution of chicken for beef in the American diet. The relatively high price of beef was no longer sustainable when it came into competition with poultry products that were less costly, healthier, more convenient, and more malleable to further processing. The substitution of chicken for beef, put wages back into competition as consumers redefined market boundaries. Poultry processors were nonunion, paying low wages, and had developed a high productivity growth production system, known as the broiler complex. They were located in the union hostile rural South and had grown their businesses using African American labor in the Southern Black Belt. Prior research (Craypo 1994) identified the primary reason for the collapse of industry bargaining was a consequence of the Iowa Beef Processors (IBP) revolution. IBP's new practices that allegedly contributed to undermining industry bargaining pre-dated the collapse by more then a decade. IBP sold boxed cut beef instead of shipping carcasses; they built plants in rural areas, often in right-to-work states rather instead near urban rail centers; and instead of accepting unions and pattern bargaining, IBP resisted both and developed its own enterprise wage standard.
