Claude Durand : The political meaning of syndicalist action.
The author deals here with two of the most politically-oriented kinds of syndicalist action, that is, class-conscious trade-unionism and trade-unionism focusing on management. He tries to find out the political meaning of this type of action by studying it in terms of its economic framework (consumption or equipment market) on the one hand, and in terms of its institutiomal framework (both private and governmental) on the other. ? In the governmental or nationalized field, as well as in the equipment industries, the writer understands that class -conscious trade-unionism is most likely to appear : this is due to the politically-oriented view according to which political action is more efficient than purely syndicalist action. ? But, in a broad sense, the political orientation of trade-unionism focusing on management seems to be stronger in the private than in the governmental sector. His analysis leads to the following distinction between two kinds of orientations towards politics of action : 1) ? a leaning towards political action, in its precise meaning, that of class-conscious trade-unionism. Here, the crucial success of syndicalist action is to follow the political action that takes place simultaneously with the purely syndicalist action. 2) ? a leaning towards political action, in its broadest sense, that is characteristic of syndicates focusing on management. In that case, the goal is to transform the economic structure through syndicalist action. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
