New Labor Forum
Summary
New Labor Forum (, E-) is a national labor journal of debate, analysis and new ideas. New Labor Forum is published by the CUNY Joseph S. Murphy Institute and SAGE Press, three times a year, in January, May, and September. Founded in 1997, the journal provides a place for labor and its allies to consider vital research, debate strategy, and test new ideas.
In its over two decades of publication, articles in the journal have covered the full range of challenges that confront workers and working-class communities.
On the domestic side, these issues have included:
the dramatic growth of low wage service and precarious work
the decline of manufacturing
corporate domination in U.S. politics
the privatization of public education
the persistence of black unemployment at double or near double the rate for whites
mass incarceration
immigration raids and the super exploitation of immigrant workers
sexual harassment at work
pay inequity
LGBTQ workplace discrimination
labor's relationship to the American empire and wars without end
the climate change crisis.
Internationally, contributors to the journal have examined:
organized labor and economic justice in post-Apartheid South Africa
the rise and fall of the pink tide in Latin America
efforts to organize among informal workers throughout the global south, and
the rise of economic nationalism throughout Europe.
The journal provides a place for labor and its allies to introduce new ideas and debate old concepts. Recent contributors include: Andy Stern, Frances Fox Piven, Bill Fletcher, David Roediger, JoAnn Wypijewski, Jonathan Tasini, Ruth Milkman, and Maria Elena Durazo. Its editorial board is composed of a number of notable scholars, including Kate Bronfenbrenner, Joshua Freeman, and Paul Buhle. Each issue of the journal also includes a "Books and the Arts" section that publishes poetry and book/film reviews.
New Labor Forum has a subscription base of approximately 7,000 individuals and institutions.
New Labor Forum is often considered a critical journal of thought within the American labor movement.
