CALL FOR PAPERS Nº 53. - JUNE 2024

LABOUR AND TRADE UNIONISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Productive transformations, law changes, equality policies and the questioning of prevailing economic models, among others, all these have important effects on the collective protection mechanisms of workers. However, there is a gap dedicated to the analysis, exchange and thought on the challenges and perspectives of trade union practice in the contemporary context.

This number aims to overcome the sometimes marked lack of attention that trade unionism suffers in academic and editorial scope, subject to the existing tendency towards monographic analyses regarding to the perspective of the trade union that carries it out. This is a particularly complex task given that, although it is true that some of the objects linked to the nature of trade unionism activity have been and are the subject of extensive scientific analysis and debate; for example, - the regulation of strike in the pre-constitutional Royal Decree-Law 17/1977, of March 4, on labour relations and its jurisprudential treatment -, the legitimacy and rights to negotiate collective agreements, as well the institutional role of trade unions which are a good example of all this mentioned above - the plural nature of the concerns about the challenges linked to the organization of workers from the collective point of view, all this has an interesting interdisciplinary scope as a field of analysis.

From this perspective, this number proposes a create a thought on the challenges and experiences of trade unionism in the nowadays context, inviting papers that can draw on various methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, comparative and/or ethnographic studies, among others) and epistemologies (labour relations, history, sociology, political science, anthropology, economics or psychology).
