1 Workers of the world, unite? Solidaritet har vært et slagord i fagbevegelsen siden 1848 Fra internasjonalisme til inter nasjonalisme i etterkrigstiden Nasjonsbygging og nasjonalt trepartssamarbeid

2 Konsekvenser Fagforeningsturisme : i [T]hey organize meetings, but the only thing they do there is enjoy the ride, look at the landscape, hope that it s nice weather, nice meals, and maybe exchange e mail addresses, yeah? I don t need to fly to Brazil ilf for a guy s e mail address Gap mellom ord (solidaritet) og handling: We call them the North thkoreans, you know??they blink left, and they turn right. That s what they do [...] This is one of the plants we really have problems with regarding international solidarity They are so focused on themselves

3 Sverige som problem i GM Europa I mean, Sweden is really a problem [ ]I try to understand the way their culture is and they are notso Europeanized, andarevery are strong in the system, in their system of partnership, which is not helping them, because they re not focused on conflict. Also, society and legislation, is not orientated to conflict [ ] The labour law, there are not so much safety ft fences, because the system was always organized in a way of cooperation. We have a conflict model in Belgium, in Sweden 70 or 80 years of social democracy will have its influence

4 Er denne nasjonale orientering fortsatt Globale selskaper: berettiget? [W]hat can my manager decide, really? [...] What colour the toilet paper will be? Probably. If he doesn t have to call Detroit for that Overnasjonale myndigheter: If you want to be a player on the scene, and if you want to make a difference for the people, you will have to be where the decision i is made, and that is not in local government, is it?

5 Hvilke begrensinger skaper trepartssamarbeidet? There [are] some unionists i that t would see [social partnerships] as definitely being a barrier to solidarity and in some ways compromising too much on what union needs are, or depending too much on that social partnership arrangement and not really using the power of your own membership to win what your issues are Virkelighetsoppfatning Lojalitet Prioriteringer Ab Arbeidsmetoder d og vingeklipping i Medlemmers bevissthet og engasjement

6 Nasjonalt samarbeid og solidaritet Hva er tanken bak trepartssamarbeid og/eller sosialt partnerskap? p Det finnes ikke klassemotsetninger, men kun fellesinteresser i samfunnet Nasjonsbyggingsprosjekt: Norges velstand avhenger av både høy produktivitet og høye lønninger, dvs. begge parter bidrar med sitt

7 Typer solidaritet Transformatorisk: solidaritet i basert på fll felles klasseinteresse uavhengig av nasjonalitet og er systemoverskridende d Tilpassende: solidaritet som tar utgangspunkt i geografiske, ofte nasjonale, interesser innenfor det nåværende systemet. Globale klasseinteresser er underordnet d Reformistisk: solidaritet som ikke tar utgangspunkt i geografisk utledede interesser, men som likevel ikke er systemoverskridende

8 Eksempel reformistisk solidaritet Share thepain : hi hvis dtkl det skal nedbemannes så skal det fordeles mellom alle lokalitetene og ikke medføre at én fabrikk legges ned Består fagforeninger i trepartssamarbeid følgende test? [W]hen push comes to shove, when [GM] say one, two, three, four stay open, the fifth one closes then the test comes. Because you ve got to then go to your site [ ] and stand in front of three thousand people, and say We want you to support that site that s closing. If we win the fight, eight hundred of you will lose your job, because we share the pain

9 Eksempel på tilpassende solidaritet For vår del så viste [strategien i GM] seg å bli vellykket [...] Det som var viktig for oss det var å vite at Trollhättan fortsatt finnes som produksjonslokalitet. Og nå gjelder det å se til at man får så mye som mulig dit

10 Lojalitet [It] often means that their first point of allegiance is to their own government and not to workers elsewhere, and I think that [ ] can complicate, or can compromise, solidarity [ ] [Y]ou [ ] need to be prepared to break the terms of that relationship [if] it acts against the interest of workers, rather than to preserve that relationship at any cost

11 Vilje/prioriteringer Ønskes konflikter i solidaritet med andre? I was under huge pressure here and I was trying to keep the top of my union committed to that t position. Because a lot of people want to be involved in discussions [ ] because they see a lot of gains from being in Social Partnership [...] [S]o the cards were sort of stacked against us from the start Numbers game Because they have this relationship through Social Partnership with the government parties they weren t necessarily willing to sacrifice all of thatto to solve this dispute. So, they were ultimately prepared to make some sort of agreement

12 Ansett for å ikke være villige/i stand Ki Kriminaliseringen i i av solidaritetsstreiker it t t ik er høyresidens store triumf over fagbevegelsen internasjonalt I understand that [...] legislation is restrictive, [...] but it s now become the national anthem of every trade union [...] to tell you why they can t do things [Y]ou ll find in Europe [...] they sign away their right to strike altogether in their collective agreements [...] [T]hey can t strike on an issue of global solidarity for one hour. So what s this of global solidarity? At the last meeting of the ICEM [...] a Russian delegate dl said: Can t we have a global strike of even one hour?

13 Informasjonsrådgiver, EMF [V]i forsøker å arrangere på europeisk nivå slik at alle gjør noe; noe, ut fra hva loven tillater [ ] [I]Sverige [ ] søker man om tillatelse, og så går man rolig og stiller seg opp på Sergelstorg og så har vi en demonstrasjon, og så går vi hjem. Om man i det hele tatt går ut og demonstrerer

14 Konsekvenser I globale selskaper hvor fagforeningene aksjonerer må de som er minst bundet nasjonalt ta støyten. Er det solidarisk å motta solidaritet, men aldri gi det i form av aksjoner? You can only get solidarity when you are prepared to give solidarity. Not just ask for it when you need it

15 li h h ih ik h Every Belgian has the right to strike. What you can t do is ask somebody else to strike with you [ ] [W]e always have these discussions with the Germans, with the UK, with the Swedish, who say we re not allowed to strike, then we say OK, but you have to work your way round it! [ ] [T]hey re saying No, we can t do this until they have a problem, and then we can see very creative solutions sometimes
