Is corporatism a question in your territory or organization ? (lemmy.wtf)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

As a member of a revolutionary union, we are supposed to organized in industry union. However, industries are not that clear nowadays; our workplace are often linked with many industries. So, we often make inter-professional unions. This is related to our mistrust of corporatism; we analyzed a lot of tensions and treason of other unions as the defense of specific job (i.e teacher, and not whole workers of education)

But, when people speak of unionized, their first question is related to a union link to their specific job.

Where you are, is corporatism a thing among the workers ? among their organization ? Do you think this is an issue ? How do you deal with it ?
