Abstract

This paper analyses the role of trades councils and trade unions in organising within local and regional contexts around the challenges facing and potential union strategies for addressing the needs of insecure and precarious workers. We deploy a case study on the Sheffield Trade Union Council  and the Sheffield Needs A Pay Rise campaign as a way of exploring innovations and challenges for the trade union movement for organising the unorganised. We explore the potentials as well as limitations of local organising and campaigning around insecurity and marginalisation by trade unions to demonstrate theoretically and empirically within industrial relations research the role of strategic spaces for action by workers and trade unions and the set of institutional, economic, social and cultural resources that workers can draw on in developing their respective strategies.

工会应对劳动力市场不安全的战略:地理位置和谢菲尔德工会联合会的作用
本文分析了行业理事会和工会在地方和区域背景下围绕解决不安全和不稳定工人需求所面临的挑战和潜在工会战略的组织作用。我们对谢菲尔德工会理事会和谢菲尔德需要加薪运动进行了案例研究,作为探索工会运动组织无组织的创新和挑战的一种方式。我们探讨了工会围绕不安全感和边缘化的地方组织和运动的潜力和局限性,以在劳资关系研究中从理论上和经验上证明工人和工会行动的战略空间的作用,以及工人在制定各自战略时可以利用的一整套制度、经济、社会和文化资源。
