Abstract

Im vorliegenden Beitrag geht es um die Rekonstruktion der Prozesse der Einführung und Umsetzung der Frauenquote in zwei österreichischen Gewerkschaften: einer ArbeiterInnengewerkschaft des privaten Dienstleistungssektors und einer Angestelltengewerkschaft. Zur Bearbeitung der Fragestellung wurden 41 leitfadengestützte Interviews geführt. In beiden Gewerkschaften erschweren die geschlechtsspezifische innerfamiliale Arbeitsteilung, eine männlich geprägte Organisationskultur und männlicher Widerstand die Implementation der Quotenregelung. In der ArbeiterInnengewerkschaft läuft die Umsetzung weniger gut als in der Angestelltengewerkschaft; vor allem ist es schwieriger, Frauen für die Ausübung von Funktionen zu gewinnen, und es gibt weniger Unterstützung durch männliche Gewerkschafter. Die Einführung der Quote ohne grundlegende Diskussion und die geringere Dichte an Betriebsratskörperschaften in den relevanten Branchen des privaten Dienstleistungsbereichs können als wichtige Ursachen für die Probleme in der ArbeiterInnengewerkschaft identifiziert werden.
