Political intersectionality is needed while labor markets stay segmented by race, class, and gender.

Evidence

Thus, another strategy is to organize outside the labor movement. Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA), an organization established in 1983, is such an example of political intersectionality. Representing Asian immigrant women working in low‐paid manufacturing and service jobs, the organization simultaneously addressed sexism, racism, class oppression, nativism, and language discrimination (Chun et al., 2013). This means that as long as labor markets and workplaces are segmented by race, class and gender, political intersectionality, and active solidarity are needed. — Silke Roth, Intersectionality and coalitions in…, 269
