Description

Gilbert Mireles is the author of Continuing La Causa: Organizing Labor in California’s Strawberry Fields (Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2013). He is associate professor of sociology at Whitman College.
Mireles applies theories from political sociology and organizational management to the question of how unions organize workers. He examined the effective and ineffective strategies of United Farm Workers (UFW) to organize berry farmers in California. The book’s close methods bring life to these organizations. Mireles’ focus on telling the story of El Comite, in particular, stands out in the book.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
