Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This case study, based on data collected from archival and interview sources, describes the variable efficacy over a 24-year period of a union-based women's committee. A theoretical model was developed that identified environmental factors, union and committee structures, and committee characteristics as variables that might affect the committee's effectiveness. Outcomes of three types were considered: structural changes that would benefit women, increased female participation in union decision making, and improved clauses in the collective agreement especially relevant to women. The study shows that while environmental factors and formal structures play an important role in achieving mobilization and change, the actions of the Social Movement Organization (SMO) itself, and of all the parties potentially affected by the SMO, are equally critical. The social movement literature complements the industrial relations and feminist organizational literatures in explaining the processes involved in successful collective action.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
