Abstract
This paper explores the state of social movement unionism in New York City and how labour-community coalitions are forging a progressive public policy agenda. Based on twenty formal interviews with labour leaders and nearly a decade of practice working in the city’s social and economic justice movement, it appears that unions are increasingly interested in coupling efforts to improve wages and working conditions with broader strategies for growth – namely, levelling the playing field for organizing through public policy reform and pursuing a legislative strategy of social, economic, and environmental justice that will give the broader public more of a reason to want to join a union. However, the New York City labour movement faces a number of obstacles – including union democracy issues, a new generation of conservative union leaders, and increasingly conservative municipal, state, and federal administrations – towards adopting social movement unionism and a progressive public policy platform

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
