Abstract

Grèves à répétition dans les transports publics, arrêts de travail récurrents dans divers secteurs stratégiques, piquets de grève dans la grande distribution, destructions de bien privés, séquestrations de cadres ou d’employeurs… Les syndicats belges sont aujourd’hui la cible de nombreuses critiques et suscitent des controverses passionnées. Pour les uns, ils représentent un contre-pouvoir plus que jamais nécessaire. Pour les autres, ils constituent avant tout un frein aux réformes dont a tant besoin notre pays pour relever les défis du XXe siècle. Il semble bien que les syndicats ont acquis dans notre pays une puissance d’une telle ampleur que leur influence sur la vie économique, sociale et, bien entendu, politique, s’en retrouve décuplée. Au motif qu’ils seraient les seuls dépositaires légitimes des intérêts des travailleurs salariés, il semble devenu impossible de poser un regard critique sur leur fonctionnement interne, l'étendue de leur influence, la légitimité de leurs actions et la pertinence de leurs revendications. Cet ouvrage entend donc lever le voile sur un sujet longtemps occulté au nom de la sacro-sainte paix sociale et du politiquement correct. Il dénonce toute une série d’abus qui n’enlèvent rien à la légitimité des syndicats à relayer les revendications de leur base, sans pour autant enrayer le fonctionnement des institutions démocratiques, dont la légitimité épouse l’ensemble de la collectivité, et non l’un ou l’autre intérêt particulier.

Abstract

The exceptional experiences of South Korea and Taiwan in combining high growth and liberal democracy in a relatively short and similar timetable have brought scholarly attention to their economic and political transformations. This new work looks specifically at the operation of workers and unions in the decades since labor-repressive authoritarian rule ended, bringing Taiwan, in particular, into the literature on comparative labor politics. South Korean labor unions are commonly described as militant and confrontational, for they often take to the streets in raucous protest. Taiwanese unions are seen as moderate and practical, primarily working through formal political processes to lobby their agendas. In exploring how and why these post-democratization states have come to breed such different types of labor politics, Yoonkyung Lee traces the roots of their differences to how unions and political parties operated under authoritarianism, and points to ways in which those legacies continue to be perpetuated. By pairing two cases with many similarities, Lee persuasively uncovers factors that explain the significant variation at play.

Abstract

From workers' wages to presidential elections, labor unions once exerted tremendous clout in American life. In the immediate post-World War II era, one in three workers belonged to a union. The fraction now is close to one in five, and just one in ten in the private sector. The only thing big about Big Labor today is the scope of its problems. While many studies have explained the causes of this decline, What Unions No Longer Do shows the broad repercussions of labor's collapse for the American economy and polity. Organized labor was not just a minor player during the middle decades of the twentieth century, Jake Rosenfeld asserts. For generations it was the core institution fighting for economic and political equality in the United States. Unions leveraged their bargaining power to deliver benefits to workers while shaping cultural understandings of fairness in the workplace. What Unions No Longer Do details the consequences of labor's decline, including poorer working conditions, less economic assimilation for immigrants, and wage stagnation among African-Americans. In short, unions are no longer instrumental in combating inequality in our economy and our politics, resulting in a sharp decline in the prospects of American workers and their families.

Abstract

The American labor movement seemed poised on the threshold of unparalleled success at the beginning of the post-World War II era. Fourteen million strong in 1946, unions represented thirty five percent of non-agricultural workers. Why then did the gains made between the 1930's and the end of the war produce so few results by the 1960's? This collection addresses the history of labor in the postwar years by exploring the impact of the global contest between the United States and the Soviet Union on American workers and labor unions. The essays focus on the actual behavior of Americans in their diverse workplaces and communities during the Cold War. Where previous scholarship on labor and the Cold War has overemphasized the importance of the Communist Party, the automobile industry, and Hollywood, this book focuses on politically moderate, conservative workers and union leaders, the medium-sized cities that housed the majority of the population, and the Roman Catholic Church. These are all original essays that draw upon extensive archival research and some upon oral history sources.

Abstract

Plus d'Europe ou moins d'Europe? Sans hésiter, Georges Debunne répond que la "Non-Europe" coûte cher aux travailleurs! Profondément convaincu que le sort de l'Europe et du syndicalisme européen sont liés, l'auteur décrit la naissance de la Confédération des Syndicats Européens, ses démarches et ses actions. Comme acteur et pionnier de la CES, Georges Debunne se prononce nettement pour la relance de la dimension européenne et la conjugaison du progrès économique et du progrès social pour lutter contre le cancer du chômage. Pour faire face aux mutations économiques, technologiques et aux bouleversements de la société, l'auteur se prononce pour des "consensus sociaux", des "accords cadre", pour créer "un climat social" qui permettrait à l'Europe de jouer pleinement son rôle dans le monde.
