Abstract:

Power resources are embedded in societal ties. Using qualitative network analysis, our fieldwork in Quebec (Canada), based on 30 interviews and 3 focus groups, explored union societal ties, their resource properties, and the extent to which unions weave them into a network. We identified five different types of union societal ties: instrumental, civil society organizations, identity-based, satellite, and fishing-line. These ties were mostly unwoven. We argue that network analysis allows unions to frame issues, to identify grassroots leaders, and to leverage societal power resources in broad-based movements.
