In this study of UFCW 401, Foster investigates a union that has had remarkable success organizing a group of workers that North American unions often struggle to reach: immigrants, women, and youth. Foster shows how the story woven by the local's leadership was an essential component to legitimizing their exercise of power and its unconventional organizing forces.
