这个重要的案例研究着眼于英国公民和Unison领导的运动，让东伦敦大学（UEL）签署了伦敦生活工资（LLW）。在2010年11月的一次简短运动后，教育大学同意支付LLW，随后于2011年8月实施。这项研究绘制了运动的过程，并借鉴了动员理论和新的主要研究来解释其成功。我们的调查结果表明，社区组织者和工会活动家能够组织和动员一个基本上不关心政治的移民工人群体。我们认为，这可以通过成功地动员社区来解释，并预示着未来广泛的运动。
This critical case study looks at the campaign led by Citizens UK and Unison to get the University of East London (UEL) to sign up to the London living wage (LLW). UEL agreed to pay the LLW after a brief campaign in November 2010 and it was subsequently implemented in August 2011. The study charts the course of the campaign and draws on mobilisation theory and new primary research to account for its success. What our findings suggest is that community organisers and union activists were able to organise and mobilise a largely apolitical group of migrant workers. This, we suggest, can be explained by the successful mobilisation of the community and augurs well for future broad-based campaigns.
