摘要

本文分析了新冠肺炎危机期间德国肉类行业对劳动力的重新监管。虽然工作和就业条件长期以来一直受到批评,但收效甚微,但德国屠宰场大规模爆发的冠状病毒导致了肉类行业工作的迅速改革。我们认为,工会能够基于其在COVID-19之前积累的话语权对政策制定者施加影响,但他们需要调整其框架策略,将公共卫生问题纳入其批评。这是可能的,因为疫情危及当地居民和屠宰场工人,这无疑增加了政策制定者的压力。本文对话语权力资源和工会战略框架的研究方法做出了贡献,并详细阐述了随着时间的推移获得话语权力的过程的相关性,以及不可预见的变化,这些变化可以极大地增加工会的政治影响力。关键词:冠状病毒;COVID-19;电力资源;工会;肉类产业

The Influence of the Discursive Power of Unions in the Swift Re-regulation of Slaughterhouse Labour during the COVID-19 Crisis in Germany
The article analyses the re-regulation of labour in the German meat industry during the COVID-19 crisis. While working and employment conditions have long been criticised with only minor results, the massive coronavirus outbreaks in German slaughterhouses led to a rapid reform of work in the meat industry. We argue that unions were able to exert influence on policy-makers based on the discursive power that they accumulated prior to COVID-19, but that they needed to adapt their framing strategies by including public health concerns to their criticism. That was possible because the outbreaks endangered local residents as well as the slaughterhouse workers, which decisively increased the pressure on policy-makers. The article contributes to the approach of discursive power resources and strategic framing by unions, and elaborates the relevance of the process of gaining discursive power over time as well as the unforeseeable changes that can dramatically increase a union’s chances of political influence. KEYWORDS: coronavirus; COVID-19; power resources; unions; meat industry
