"Anhand von Interviews mit Aktivisten französischer und britischer Bankengewerkschaften (CFDT-Banque und UNIFI) berichtet diese französisch-britische Untersuchung über Wertvorstellungen und Perspektiven des gewerkschaftlichen Aktivismus. Die Autoren finden einige nationale, aber keine generationenspezifische Differenzen. In beiden Sektoren haben die jüngeren Aktivisten ähnliche Vorstellungen über soziale Gerechtigkeit wie ihre älteren Kollegen. Zurückgewiesen wird die Ansicht, dass die gegenwärtige europäische Gewerkschaftsbewegung sich bürokratisiert und von den Arbeitnehmern entfremdet habe und dass die Aktivisten in ihrer gewerkschaftlichen Betätigung zunehmend instrumenteller und individueller eingestellt seien."

"This Franco-British research reports on interviews concerning CFDT-Banque and UNIFI union activists' values and trajectories towards activism. The authors find some national differences but few generational differences. In both banking sector unions the younger union conference participants largely share the same values of social justice as the older activists, and have similar trajectories from being nonmembers to becoming activists. The authors criticise the argument that as the contemporary European trade union movement has become more bureaucratised and remote from the workers so its activists are likely to have become increasingly instrumental and individual in their union involvement."
