  Intrinsic alignments between galaxies and the large-scale structure
contaminate galaxy clustering analyses and impact constraints on galaxy bias
and the growth rate of structure in the Universe. This is the result of
alignments inducing a selection effect on spectroscopic samples which is
correlated with the large-scale structure. In this work, we quantify the biases
on galaxy bias and the growth rate when alignments are neglected. We also
examine different options for the mitigation of alignments by considering
external priors on the effect and different probe combinations. We find that
conservative analyses that restrict to $k_{\rm max}=0.1$ Mpc$^{-1}$ are not
significantly affected. However, analyses that aim to go to higher wave numbers
could evidence a significant contamination from alignments. In those cases,
including a prior on alignment amplitude, or combining clustering with the
position-intrinsic shape correlation of galaxies, can recover the same expected
constraining power, or even inform bias and growth rate measurements.
