The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labor Representation

The international brotherhood of Teamsters union was formed in nineteen zero three. The Teamsters union, in the first place, represented horse team drivers and stable hands. Currently, the association represents a wide heterogeneity of occupations. In two thousand and three, the union attained a centennial. The history of this union did not commence the year it was organized; instead, in eighteen fifty when San Francisco draymen came together to regulate their charges. I learned that in nineteen ten, the union shifted representation from horse team cartage to motor transport. The response of this union is forward-thinking in developing new structures and practices of inclusion, expression, and regulation, as part of a broader search for revitalization (Connolly, 2019). This dynamism in representation has kept the Teamsters union in a growth trajectory, also retaining its power base. The changing technologies over the years were not fought but instead included in the representation. The redundancies on old occupation paved the way for acceptance of new career but the same principle. The horse team drivers in twenty, twenty one may be taxi driver be it Uber or otherwise still needs representation to have good welfare. The growth of this union over the years is good, and the members are there because they are represented effectively.
The challenge presently is the fluidity of some occupations having no designated title is somewhat problematic in representation. The effect of new innovative technologies is so rapid that everyone is playing catching up with it. This comes in terms of laws and regulations, companies creating titles and abolishing them. The business environment; where mergers and acquisition is the norm. The globalization of companies network which is spanning various territories and legal frameworks. There are cadres of workers who lack union services, especially in the private sector, which is evident by frustrated employee demand for representation (Holland, 2019). This occurrence is most acute in younger workers, which, when addressed, will be an interesting study to examine.
