Union flying squad
|
|
A union flying squad is an unofficial group of autonomous workers (usually members of a single union) who carry out actions for the benefit of their labor struggle. Squads are a form of affinity groups and are often formed when the workers involved feel that the union bureaucracy is not working satisfactorily in their interest.
