Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, endüstri ilişkileri teorisi ve uygulaması bağlamında birbirinin tezadı olan iki stratejinin dinamiklerini ve ortaya çıkardığı sonuçları ve sorunları analiz etmektir. Bu amaçla yapılan incelemede, öncelikle, paydaşlık ilişkilerinin nasıl geliştirildiği, söylem düzeyinde işçiler ve sendikalar için ne tür vaatler içerdiği ve gerçekte ne gibi sonuçlar ortaya çıkardığı saptanmaktadır. Daha sonra örgütlenme stratejisine niçin ihtiyaç duyulduğu ve ne tür teorik temeller üzerinde inşa edildiği tartışılmakta ve ortaya çıkardığı sonuçlar irdelenmektedir. Çalışmanın sonunda iki temel çıkarımda bulunulmaktadır. Birincisi, paydaşlık ilişkilerinin sendikalar için bir yeniden canlanma stratejisi olmasının önünde ciddi teorik ve pratik zorluklar bulunmaktadır, hatta paydaşlık ilişkileri sendikaların zayıflamasına neden olmaktadır. İkincisi, örgütlenme modeli, sendikaların elindeki en önemli strateji tercihi olmasına ve oldukça güçlü teorik temellere dayanmasına rağmen, gerek teoriye uygun olarak uygulanamamasından gerekse bazı ilave stratejilerle desteklenememesinden beklenen hedeflerin uzağında kalmış gibi görünmektedir

Two Rival Strategies for Union Revitalisation: Partnership Versus Organising

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the dynamics and outcomes of partnership and organising, which are two contradictory trade union strategies in the context of industrial relations theory and practice. For this purpose, in the first place, issues like how the partnership relations are developed, the content of the promises for unions and workers which have been made during this period in the discourse, and the outcomes of partnership relations in reality have been determined in this study. In the next step, the reasons, which make the disquisition of organizing strategies essential, its theoretical foundations and consequences have been discussed and examined. As a conclusion, two main inferences have been drawn. The first inference is that, there are huge theoretical and practical obstacles in partnership strategy’s way to be a union revitalisation strategy. Moreover, partnership relations cause to weaken trade unions. The second inference is that, although organising model has still been the strongest strategy in the hand of trade unions and it has been constructed on robust theoretical bases, it seems that the strategy has not been applied successfully enough to provide union revitalisation. It is assumed that the reasons of this phenomenon are the lack of implementation of the strategy as envisaged in the theory and being not supported sufficiently by some other union strategies
