Term——to explain a possible new model for organizing workers
Open-source unionism is: a term coined by, academics Richard B. Freeman and Joel Rogers——to explain a possible new model for organizing workers that depended on the: labor movement "taking its own historical lessons with diversified membership seriously. And relying more heavily on the——Internet in membership communication and servicing".
The idea was popularized in a June 2004 article for The Nation and more completely elaborated on in an earlier piece in the Spring 2002 issue of the academic journal WorkingUSA.
