Die 'soziale Gewerkschaftsbewegung' - Dänemark als Beispiel
No full textSeit dem Frühjahr 2006 kommt es in Dänemark immer wieder zu Streiks und Protesten gegen die Sozialpolitik der Rechtsregierung. Dabei ist ein Bündnis entstanden, das Eltern, Erzieherinnen und Erzieher, Beschäftigte in der Altenpflege und Alte, Studierende und Gewerkschaften einbezieht. Im öffentlichen Diskurs hat diese „soziale Gewerkschaftsbewegung“ mittlerweile eine zentrale Bedeutung. Doch was bedeutet der Kampf um den Wohlfahrtsstaat für die dänischen Gewerkschaften? Wie verändert sich das Verhältnis zwischen den „alten“ industriell geprägten Verbänden und denen des öffentlichen Dienstes? Und wie kann man die Entwicklungen in Dänemark verorten, wenn man sie im Lichte der internationalen Debatte um Mitgliederentwicklung und Verhandlungsmacht der Gewerkschaften betrachtet

Migration and labour unrest during the pandemic: Studies from Germany and Austria
No full textAbstract
This paper presents the results of research, which highlights the situation during the pandemic in sectors characterised by low wages and a high turnover of workers.

It questions how conflicts over migrant labour have been articulated and possibly changed in the pandemic, and what factors may have contributed not only to an upsurge but also to the containment, regulation, and repression, of labour unrest
