Konflikteskalation in Tarifverhandlungen: Methode, Indikatoren und empirische Befunde

Escalation of collective bargaining: methods, indicators and empirical findings

Abstract

Es ist üblich, die Stabilität der Arbeitsbeziehungen anhand verschiedener Arbeitskampfindikatoren zu messen.

Es ist üblich, die Stabilität der Arbeitsbeziehungen anhand verschiedener Arbeitskampfindikatoren zu messen. Da diese aber nur an "materiellen" Konflikthandlungen wie Streiks und Aussperrungen anknüpfen, wird ein Konfliktmaß entwickelt, das nicht nur materielle Konflikthandlungen berücksichtigt, sondern auch verbale und formale Eskalationsstufen wie Streikdrohungen, Verhandlungsabbrüche oder Schlichtungen. Diese Konflikthandlungen werden in einer Eskalationspyramide so angeordnet, dass sie die Zuspitzung von Tarifkonflikten abbilden. Diese Methode liefert eine Grundlage, um in einem weiteren Schritt zwei Eskalationsmaße abzuleiten: Die maximale Eskalationsstufe gibt als statisches Maß an, bis zu welcher Stufe ein Konflikt eskaliert, die Konfliktintensität summiert als dynamisches Maß alle Konflikthandlungen. Eine Auswertung von 144 Tarifkonflikten in 13 Branchen zeigt bei beiden Maßen große Unterschiede. Außerdem zeigen vier abgeleitete Konfliktlösungsmuster, dass die Tarifverhandlungen in Deutschland nach wie vor als "Konfliktpartnerschaft" beschrieben werden können. Dabei lassen sich vor allem verbal-formale Konfliktlösungsansätze und materielle Konfliktlösungsansätze unterscheiden.... view less

Usually, the stability of labour relations is evaluated by a set of different strike indicators. However, these indicators are often only linked to "material" conflict actions like strike and lockouts. Therefore, we developed a new method for measuring the intensity of conflict during collective bargaining which not only considers material measures but also verbal and formal measures like strike threats, termination of negotiations or arbitrations. These measures are ranked in an escalation pyramid. In a subsequent step, we derived two measures of escalation: As a static measure, the maximum escalation level informs about the maximum level, to which a single conflict escalates. As a dynamic measure, the intensity of conflict summarizes all conflict actions. An evaluation of 144 wage disputes in 13 industries shows significant differences in both measures between industries. Furthermore, we identified four patterns of conflict resolution. They indicate that collective bargaining in Germany can still be described by "partnership in conflict" (Konfliktpartnerschaft). In this regard, we can distinguish between a verbal-formal pattern of conflict resolution and a material pattern.... view less
