title = {Die griechische Gewerkschaftsbewegung: Protest- und Sozialbewegungen im Kontext der Austeritätspolitik},
year = {2014},
note = {Even before the 2008 crisis, the Greek trade union system was already
characterized by low density and weak links to other societal actors.
The unsuccessful union response to the austerity policies imposed on
Greece reflected the extent of the weakness of the institutional
labour organisations. This article provides some insights into the
changes the workers’ movement has been undergoing in this
challenging environment. The focus is on three levels of analysis:
First, the inability of the established union elites to propose
structural reforms for the unions, which would have strengthened their
negotiating capacity in a post-tripartit setting. Second, the
rank-and-file efforts to connect with the anti-austerity mobilisation
and introduce labour-related claims in the movements’ agenda. And
finally, hybrid experiments developed at the local level, aimed at
building up solidarity structures for the suffering population.},
