2000’Lİ YILLARDA “İÇERİDEKİLER” AZALIR, “DIŞARIDAKİLER” ÇOĞALIRKEN SENDİKAL CANLANMAYI DÜŞÜNMEK

1980’li yıllardan başlayarak hemen her ülkede sendika yoğunluklarının azaldığı ve sendikaların gerek kurumsal gerekse toplumsal alanlarda güç kaybına uğradığı görülmektedir. Neoliberal küreselleşme, işsizlik oranlarını artırır ve güvencesiz kesimleri farklı biçimlerde yeniden üretirken, sendikal hareketler de sendikasızlaşmaya, kötü ve güvencesiz çalışma ve yaşam koşullarına karşı direnişin yollarını sendikal canlanma politikalarında aramaktadır. Bu sunuşta sendikal gücün azaldığı bir arka plana karşı, 2000’li yıllarda çeşitlenen yeni sendikal canlanma stratejileri ve “dışarıdakiler”in hak taleplerinin savunulmasını ve örgütlenmesini hedefleyen sendikal yaklaşımlar değerlendirilmiştir.

REFLECTING ON TRADE UNION REVITALISATION IN THE 2000s WHILE THE NUMBER OF “INSIDERS” DECREASE AND THE NUMBER OF “OUTSIDERS” INCREASE

Starting from the 1980s, trade union densities decreased in almost every country and trade unions lost power in both institutional and societal terms. While neoliberal globalisation increases the rates of unemployment and reproduces precarious work in different ways, trade union movements are seeking ways of resistance against deunionisation and poor and precarious working and living conditions through the union revitalisation strategies. In this presentation, the new trade union revitalization strategies and the trade union approaches aimed at defending and organizing the claims of the "outsiders” are evaluated against a background of decline in union power
