With this post we are simply re-publishing the piece State Unionism in the US, originally written by the Southern New England Labor Council (SNELC) back in early Fall 2023. This piece served as a key part of the theoretical impetus and basis for the foundation of New Labor Press, and now the New Labor Organizing Committee (NLOC), as it advances the thesis that the framework of state unionism is essential and indispensable in understanding and formulating a practical plan of action within the modern US labor movement.

Previously this piece could only be found on our website in the different links or references from articles that have since built and expanded on this original work, or in things like our recent Compilations document. Because of this we are re-publishing the piece in a stand-alone article so that it is easier to find, access, study, and share. We hope this format is useful and please always feel free to reach out with questions, criticisms, and commentaries at our email snelabor@protonmail.com.
