Abstract

Die Schwierigkeit, ökologische und soziale Interessenlagen zu verbinden, wird anhand der Interaktion zwischen NGOs und Gewerkschaften deutlich. Ende der 80er Jahre erfolgte eine Öffnung der Gewerkschaften gegenüber NGOs, die sich in ersten gemeinsamen Debatten und Aktivitäten niederschlug. Im Zusammenhang mit der UN-Konferenz für Umwelt und Entwicklung (UNCED 1992) wurden die Kooperationsaktivitäten deutlich verstärkt, jedoch nahmen in der Folgezeit gemeinsame Initiativen angesichts veränderter politischer Rahmenbedingungen und anderer Schwerpunktsetzungen ab. Erst mit der Diskussion um die sogenannte Wuppertal- Studie (1996) wurde die Auseinandersetzung der Gewerkschaften mit den Erfordernissen der Nachhaltigkeit und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Gewerkschaften und NGOs erneut intensiviert. Zumindest von Teilen der Gewerkschaften und NGOs wird das Bemühen fortgesetzt, ökologische und soziale Lösungsansätze im Sinne von Nachhaltigkeit miteinander zu verknüpfen. Gegensätzliche Wertorientierungen (in bezug auf das Natur- und Entwicklungsverständnis und die Vorstellungen von Fortschritt und Wohlstand), divergierende Interessenlagen und Funktionszwänge, verschiedene Politikstile, Organisations- und Aktionsformen, aber auch spezifische Funktionszwänge markieren die Unterschiede zwischen Gewerkschaften und NGOs und erschweren die Kooperation. Der Nachhaltigkeitsdiskurs bietet die Grundlage für einen übergreifenden Dialog zwischen Gewerkschaften und NGOs zu den sozialen und ökologischen Bedingungen einer sozial-ökologischen Umgestaltung der Gesellschaft und möglicherweise die Basis für kontinuierliche Zusammenarbeit.
