"This contribution deals with developments in German Trade Unionism
since the world economic crisis of 2008/09. Internationally, the crisis
management of the German metalworkers’ union IG Metall is held in high
esteem and regarded as a role model. It seems as if social integrative corporatism
has emerged triumphant from the crisis. However, appearances
are deceptive. It is argued here that we are once again witnessing a functional
change in trade unionism. Corporatism is acquiring a new meaning;
it must not be equated with corporatism in the era of prosperous post-war
capitalism. In societies marked by divided labour markets and expanding
precariousness, corporatism generates different outcomes. Trade Unions
run the risk of degenerating into mere representatives of pressure groups,
aligning themselves with factions of the political and economic élite in order
to further special interests. The concept of trade unions as intermediary
organisations is no longer sufficient to explain this functional change." (author's abstract)... weniger
