PROVOCĂRI SOCIALE GLOBALE ASUPRA MIŞCĂRII SINDICALE: ÎNȚELEGEREA IDENTITĂȚII, IDEOLOGIEI ȘI SCOPULUI

Abstract

The 21st century has seen a dramatic increase in social inequality and economic insecurity across the globe. Global social challenges have a significant impact on the trade union movement, affecting the understanding of its identity, ideology and purpose. The world of work is going through a period of transformation and unions are responding to the needs and aspirations of workers with innovation and insight. Discussions of the fundamental purpose of unions have been the subject of considerable academic research. This historical and theoretical debate has continuing relevance and importance for the study of trade unionism today. Globalization and economic liberalization have led to increased competition between countries and between workers. Rapid technological change has led to the automation of many jobs and increased requirements for skills and qualifications. And unions must adapt to these changes and find ways to protect and represent workers in this new reality.
