Abstract

Full employment is still the focus of trade union politics, despite the fact that the envisaged reduction of unemployment by half is no longer a realistic objective and that hopes now centre more modestly on "reversing the trend" on the labour market. However, the more narrowly trade unions gear their policies to the employment crisis, the greater the risk they run of failing to tackle the key problems of a changed "work society". This article, which first appeared in German in Die Mitbestimmung 7/98 and is published here with kind permission, contains a plea for a credible and successful debate.
