Abstract

Drawing on a qualitative analysis of a group of mobilized precarious workers in Tunisia’s public sector, the author asks how workers’ collective actions are shaped by and, at the same time, can act upon labor unions’ responses to them. Findings suggest that unions can enable and simultaneously constrain precarious workers’ collective actions. More important, workers learn from their interactions with the union, and this learning process can contribute to innovations in workers’ mobilizing structure and repertoire of actions. The Tunisian case contributes to the debate on the relationship between precarious workers and institutionalized actors as well as to the study of mobilized precarious workers by elucidating the ways in which the workers’ embedded and innovative agency plays out within and beyond a well-established labor union.
工会内外的动员:北非不稳定工人集体行动的案例
通过对突尼斯公共部门一群被动员起来的不稳定工人的定性分析,作者询问工人的集体行动是如何受到工会对他们的反应的影响,同时又如何能够对工会的反应采取行动。研究结果表明,工会可以促进和同时限制不稳定工人的集体行动。更重要的是,工人从他们与工会的互动中学习,这一学习过程可以促进工人动员结构和行动曲目的创新。突尼斯的案例有助于讨论不稳定工人与制度化行动者之间的关系,也有助于研究动员的不稳定工人,通过阐明工人嵌入和创新的机构在一个成熟的工会内外发挥作用的方式。
