“…Fourth, revitalization research addresses the socioeconomic impact of the labor movement. These studies examine the impact of unionization on trends in income inequality, race-ethnic and gender differentials in the wage returns from unions among unionized and non-union workers, and worker health (Brady et al, 2013;Kalleberg & Colbjørnsen, 1990;Leicht, 1989;Rosenfeld, 2014;Rubin, 1986;Wallace, 1987).…”

This symposium issue of Work and Occupations on “The New Labor Activism” develops a new generation of labor sociology research for comprehending and sustaining the contemporary labor mobilization in the U.S., the largest labor mobilization since the 1930s. The symposium responds to the question raised in the June, 2022 report of the Worker Empowerment Research Network about the sustainability of the new labor activism. The symposium essays focus on the themes of “history,” “intersectionality,” “worker agency,” and “hierarchy” and continue the post-World War II transition of the field from a union-centered toward a worker-centered labor sociology.

“…Norway is an interesting test case for our purpose because of several reasons. First, levels of economic inequality is relatively compressed in Norway (Barth and Zweimueller, 1994;Bratberg et al, 2007;Kalleberg and Colbjørnsen, 1990;Moene and Wallerstein, 1997). Despite the rise in economic inequality in the Nordic countries in the 1980s and 1990s, income distribution remains more equitable in Norway than in most other countries (Atkinson et al, 1995;Esping-Andersen, 2000).…”

We estimate a status order for contemporary Norway using register data on married and cohabiting couples. By applying multi-dimensional scaling to contingency tables that cross-classify the occupation of spouses and cohabiting partners, we are able to extract a dimension that could reasonably be interpreted as reflecting social status in the classical Weberian sense. The general contour of the Norwegian status order and that of the United Kingdom are remarkably similar, as is the way in which social status relates to education, income and social class in the two countries. But social status is more equitably distributed in Norway than in the United Kingdom. Finally, as a demonstration of the empirical relevance of the class-status distinction, we show that these two dimensions of social stratification underpin different kinds of social attitudes in Norway.
