For many years there have been efforts to organize teaching assistants on college campuses and form a union. often these efforts fail because of practical reasons: there are limited volunteers, leaders graduate and leave, and the organizers have limited money for supplies. what theory would be interested in these reasons?
Social movement theory. Due to lack of resources, it is hard for these groups to form a union. To form a union and have a successful social movement, there needs to be an abundance of resources to successfully create a union. A union is formed when a group of workers want to protect their rights in the interest of labor.
