Abstract: | In recent years, the labor movement has expressed interest in using the community as a source of union power in dealing with
employers. This paper explores labor’s historical relationship with the community, examines the emphasis on more effective
uses of the community in core union activities, identifies the communities with which labor aligns itself in coalitions, and
discusses the strategies employed to form alliances with community groups. Finally, an analysis of some of the key barriers
and limitations that affect prospects of the formation and effectiveness of union-community coalitions is presented.
