Question

For many years there have been efforts to organize teaching assistants on college campuses and form a union. often these efforts fail because of practical reasons: there are limited volunteers, leaders graduate and leave, and the organizers have limited money for supplies. what theory would be interested in these reasons?

Answer 1

Social movement theory.  Due to lack of resources, it is hard for these groups to form a union. To form a union and have a successful social movement, there needs to be an abundance of resources to successfully create a union. A union is formed when a group of workers want to protect their rights in the interest of labor.
