Abstract
By focusing on the Michigan plan of reclassification as a case study, this article examines the significance of reclassification in public welfare. The National Association of Social Worker's (NASW's) current strategy in addressing reclassification is evaluated and several alternative strategies and policies for the organization are considered. The author proposes that NASW form an alliance with public sector unions and explore collective bargaining through the use of subcontracts with currently existing labor unions.Keywords
