Describe the labor movement, and the role of class consciousness in that. In what ways is the labor movement hampered by social conditions in the United States?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. The labor movement is a class-based social movement to instill a democratic (rule by the majority) society rather than one dominated by elites.
2. Class consciousness is a person’s awareness of social and economic inequality. People must have class consciousness to actively participate in the labor movement.
3. The labor movement is limited in the United States due to low class consciousness. People are much more likely to collectively organize along other identity categories like race and gender. People are also more likely to see class position as an individual’s situation rather than a social position resulting from structural forces.
