During the 2011 Left Forum, organizers from the Excluded Workers congress came together for a dialogue with scholars who study worker organizing and social movements for a big-picture dialogue about historical exclusions, contemporary political-economic transitions and long-term vision. Organizing Upgrade has been publishing the notes from their stimulating dialogue in several sections, beginning with a piece on historical exclusions in April and a piece on the role of policy struggles in our last issue. This final section captures a discussion between the panelists about the relationship between the Excluded Workers Congress and the traditional labor movement.
