Abstract

The paper reviews alternatives to globalization and neoliberal restructuring within the context of economic crisis and rising politics of dissent. What are the challenges posed by globalisation to labour movements? What kind of strategies does the labour movement in Turkey develop as a way forward? The study is based upon interviews conducted with twenty two trade unionists who took various responsibilities in the recent past in unions that are organised in textile, automotive and agriculture sectors, public services and in their confederations. They were conducted in İstanbul and Ankara in April-May 2010 and December 2010-January 2011. It is argued that although labour is united in their criticisms to globalisation, it is probable to observe an intra-class struggle. Whilst the internationally oriented labour has articulated a struggle at the international level under the motto that ‘another globalisation in the interests of labour is possible’, nationally oriented labour has developed a relatively defensive strategy echoing a form of Keynesian welfare state.

Özet

Bu çalışmada ekonomik kriz ve artan muhalif politikalar içinde küreselleşmenin ve neoliberal yeniden yapılanmanın alternatifleri tartışılmaktadır. Küreselleşme işçi hareketi için ne gibi sonuçlar doğurmuştur? Türkiye’deki işçi hareketi ne gibi stratejiler öne sürmektedir? Çalışma tekstil, otomotiv ve tarım sektörlerinde örgütlenmiş sendikacılar ile kamu emekçileri ve konfederasyonlardan seçilmiş sendikacılar ile yirmi iki mülakatı esas alır. Bu mülakatlar Nisan-Mayıs 2010 ve Aralık 2010-Ocak 2011 tarihleri arasında İstanbul ve Ankara’da yapılmıştır. Çalışmada işçi hareketi her ne kadar küreselleşme karşısında ortak eleştirel bir tutum geliştirse de, hareket içinde bir sınıf içi çatışma gözlemlemenin olası olduğu tartışılacaktır. Uluslararası alana yönelik işçiler ‘işçilerin lehine başka bir küreselleşme mümkün’ sloganının yansıttığı gibi uluslararası alanda bir mücadele öne sürerken, ulusal alana yönelik işçiler Keynesci refah devletini çağrıştıran mekanizmalarla daha koruyucu bir strateji geliştirmişlerdir.
