Taxi drivers in New York have used driver strikes, demonstrations and other public events to improve their ability to negotiate with the commission that regulates taxis in New York. Non-unionized workers have also organized through door-to-door outreach campaigns, such as the one initiated by Working America. The National Domestic Workers Alliance uses grass roots organizing tactics to gather members who work in the domestic services industries. Workers from outside the U.S. with temporary work visas have also used tactics such as strikes and highlighting the importance of their work as part of large-scale corporate enterprises.
