Labor movement inclusion requires internal caucuses for underrepresented groups.

Evidence

One strategy to make labor movements more inclusive is by organizing underrepresented groups, creating caucuses within trade unions and by acknowledging that gender, civil rights and LGBTQ+ issues are workers issues (S. Roth, 2003). Women’s, civil rights and LGBTQ+ movements challenged labor movements to pay more attention to these excluded, marginalized, and ignored groups, which are also part of the labor force and thus in need of workplace representation (Baron, 1991). — Silke Roth, Intersectionality and coalitions in…, 257
