| Research Abstract |
This research is to examine theoretically and empirically "social movement unionism" as a type of the revitalization of the labor movement in globalization. In this research, a new labor movement in the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States, the subject of which are primarily immigrant workers, was surveyed and considered theoretically. As a consequence, it is confirmed that social movement unionism can transform the roles of immigrant workers in industrial relations and make explicit the proper role of the labor movement in capitalist society.
