In \u003ci\u003eA Baseline of Decency\u003c\/i\u003e, César F. Rosado-Marzán draws on participant observation, interviews, and document analysis centered on Chicago's Arise Chicago to show how these \"alt-labor\" groups outperform politically by mobilizing social and symbolic capital: building solidarity among members; forging bridges to clergy, unions, lawyers, and lawmakers; and elevating workers' own voices. More than just study legislative strategy, Rosado-Marzán argues that worker centers are reshaping the moral economy of the labor market—building a more egalitarian, equitable, dignitarian, and democratic vision of work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"César F.
