Multi-unionism and the representation of sectional interests in British workplaces

Gewerkschaftspluralismus und die Vertretung von Partikularinteressen in Großbritannien

"Gewerkschaftskonkurrenz und -fragmentierung gelten als traditionelles Problem der Arbeitsbeziehungen in Großbritannien. Dieser Aufsatz versucht klarzustellen, dass Spartengewerkschaften vor allem aus Arbeitgebersicht ein 'Problem' darstellen, zumal unter den spezifischen Bedingungen der 1960er und 1970er Jahre. Im Gegenzug nährt er eine andere, positivere Sicht der Dinge für die Periode seit 1979, die durch einen allgemeinen Rückgang der Gewerkschaftsbewegung gekennzeichnet ist: Hier erlaubt die Spannkraft von Berufsgewerkschaften eine wirksame Interessenvertretung. Diese These wird durch die Gegenüberstellung von Journalisten und Finanzdienstleistern verdeutlicht." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Britain has been regarded as traditionally having had a 'problem' in its industrial relations by virtue of the presence of sectionalism and multi-unionism. This article suggests that this analysis of sectionalism and multi-unionism being a 'problem' is very much bound up with employer perspectives and the specific context of the 1960s and 1970s. By contrast, in a period of retreat for labour unionism since 1979, sectionalism can be viewed in a different and more positive manner, whereby its resilience allows distinct, occupational interests to be more effectively represented. The case of journalists, when contrasted with that of finance workers, is used to highlight this." (author's abstract)... view less
