N2 - The author describes and analyzes a comprehensive union organizing campaign in the building and construction trade unions. Justice for Roofers is exceptional not only in that it involves Latino immigrants in Arizona, a state known for its harsh anti-immigrant and antilabor laws but also because it uses a comprehensive union organizing model tailored to the industry. Examining the different actors, strategies, and actions used in this organizing campaign is significant for understanding the roles of immigrant workers' union organizing in the construction industry and in the United States.
