本文考察了临时工作政治化的一个重要方面：移民临时工（一个据称“无组织”的临时工人阶级）基层组织策略的演变。本文关注的是，基于激进民主和大众教育的社会转型哲学的争论，从20世纪80年代拉丁美洲的群众运动社会斗争，到今天美国城市的街头组织，是如何化解的。通过对日工组织者的一系列深入访谈，本文：(1)跟随大众教育方法的大陆旅行；(2)探讨如何从全球南方的组织方法已经适应和重组，以满足在美国的日间劳动力市场，其特点是猖獗的违反核心劳动标准提出的挑战。
This paper examines an important aspect of the politicisation of contingent work: the evolution of grassroots organising strategies by immigrant day labourers, an allegedly ‘unorganisable’ class of contingent workers. The paper focuses on the ways in which repertoires of contestation – based in a philosophy of social transformation through radical democracy and Popular Education – have defused from mass-movement social struggles in Latin America in the 1980s to street-corner organising in US cities today. Through a series of in-depth interviews with day labour organisers, the paper: (1) follows the continental travels of Popular Education methodologies; and (2) explores how organising approaches from the global South have been adapted and recombined to meet the challenges presented by day labour markets in the US which are characterised by rampant violations of core labour standards.
