• W222690613 abstract "C HAPTER 15 O RGANIZING THE U NORGANIZABLE E DNA B ONACICH AND F ERNANDO G APASIN Globalization is changing the nature of work in California, and nowhere is this more evident than in the manufacturing sector. 1 The ideal of a large, stable factory, where a union contract could ensure a continuing rise in the standard of living of workers, is a thing of the past, and the manufacturing unions are reeling as a result. In Los Angeles, as a consequence of excellent electoral work and innovative, aggressive organizing, overall union density has climbed over 2 percent in the last four years, from below 18 percent to nearly 21 percent. 2 However, from 1988 to 1999 union density in the manufacturing sector in California has dropped from 21 percent to 9 percent statewide, and in the Los Angeles area, to 7 percent and dropping. 3 Manufacturing unions have lost membership in manufacturing in California, and a number of them have almost completely shifted their organizing emphasis away from their traditional bases in favor of sectors of the economy that they have deemed Aorganizable.@ Much praise and self-congratulation surrounds the labor movement these days. With new national leadership committed to organizing the unorganized, with a remarkable shift in orientation towards immigration policy, with a few outstanding organizing victories, especially the homecare workers campaign, and with the L.A. janitors= strike that brought national and international attention to the growing injustice and inequality in the city, the California labor movement has reason to feel a new optimism. Nevertheless, it should be noted that most of the gains have occurred either in the public sector, where sympathetic government officials can pressure employers to settle, or in the service sector, where unions can be assured that the jobs will not flee the country once they are organized. The picture is more bleak when we look at the manufacturing sector. California has suffered from major deindustrialization of its heavy industries, including steel, cars and tires, but it has also experienced a reindustrialization in light manufacturing. California, especially Southern California, has become the manufacturing capital of the United States, with more manufacturing jobs than any other state in the union. In 1999, California had 1,922,800 manufacturing workers, making up about 12 percent of civilian employment. While the number of employed manufacturing workers was almost the same as the number in 1983 (1,927,000), its importance in civilian employment dropped from 17 percent. There have been fluctuations in between, but the California manufacturing workforce has hovered around 2,000,000 workers. About one-third of the state’s manufacturing workers are located in Los Angeles County, and 40 percent of those are employed in non-durable" @default.
