Il presente studio si pone l’obiettivo di investigare sulle relazioni tra sindacati e gruppi auto organizzati di lavoratori in un contesto di crisi della rappresentanza sindacale tradizionale, guardando ad un settore peculiare: i servizi sociali esternalizzati. La ricerca verte in particolare sul ruolo dei movimenti sociali nella revitalizzazione del sindacalismo nell’Europa meridionale, dove i sindacati tradizionali hanno goduto di relazioni privilegiate con le istituzioni, entrate in declino con l’avvento della crisi economica. Per questo motivo, si guarderà in particolare a due organizzazioni con un percorso di sviluppo istituzionale simile, ma una diversa traiettoria in termini di movimento del lavoro durante la crisi: Comisiones Obreras in Spagna e Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro in Italia. Infatti, a differenza dell’Italia, i sindacati spagnoli si sono imbattuti in un’ondata di movimenti sociali altamente critici nei loro confronti. Le principali domande di ricerca sono: 1) che fattori influenzano le relazioni tra sindacati e gruppi auto organizzati di lavoratori e 2) se un’ondata di movimenti sociali a livello nazionale influenza il modo in cui i vari attori del movimento del lavoro interagiscono a livello locale.

Abstract
This research wants to investigate on the relationship between trade unions and self-organized group of workers in the context of the trade unions’ crisis of representation in a specific and peculiar sector: the outsourced social services. One wants to look at the role of social movements in revitalizing trade unions in Southern Europe. It is especially there that unions used to rely on privileged relationship with the institutions, which had been declining during the last economic crisis. For this reason, the article will focus on two organizations with a similar path of institutional development, but with different labour movement trajectory during the crisis: CCOO in Spain and CGIL in Italy. In fact, Spanish trade unions had to relate with a wave of movement highly critic against them, while it did not occur in Italy. The main research questions are 1) which are the main factors influencing the relationship between trade unions and self-organized workers and 2) whether the occurrence of a social movement wave of contentions at national level do influence the way the various actors interact at local level.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
