Gewerkschaftliche Erneuerung in der Eurokrise

Neue Organisationsformen der spanischen Gewerkschaften während des Protestzyklus ab 2011

Abstract

The Eurozone crisis has deepened the structural and organisational weaknesses of the Spanish trade union movement. At the same time, unions were challenged by new social movements in a cycle of protests following the indignados of 15M. In consequence, a hesitant strategic reorientation and regeneration of the trade unions took place as they struggled to include social forms applied by the new movements such as grassroots democracy and civil disobedience into their strategic repertoire.
