Business Unionism and Social Unionism in Theory and Practice
From: Rethinking the Politics of Labour in Canada
$1.80
Recognizing the coexistence of historicized ideal types of both “business unionism” and “social unionism” in the labour movement in general, and specifically within unions themselves, provides the basis for an ongoing rethinking of the movement’s collective action frames, strategic and tactical repertoires and internal organizational practices. Such an approach does not just allow us to see the more complex expressions of business unionism and social unionism in the Canadian labour movement, but it also makes it possible to be more careful in our strategic analysis of the kinds of union practices to be preserved and rejected, and under what ideological, legal and organizational conditions.
