Revitalising young workers' union participation: a comparative analysis of two organisations in Quebec (Canada)
研究了加拿大魁北克两个工会如何通过增强青年成员的归属感、内部网络密度和参与式民主来提升其参与度，发现工会需接纳青年而非强迫其适应过时价值观。
Abstract This paper examines how two trade union organisations in Quebec (Canada) manage to integrate issues of concern to young members (30 years old and under) and spur changes in their agenda, structures and practices. Between 2009 and 2014, 25 interviews were conducted in these two organisations, while 41 focus group discussions were held with more than 430 members. We contend that improving young members' feeling of belonging to the union, enhancing internal network density and implementing more participatory forms of democracy are key elements when it comes to increasing their participation. Our findings reveal that unions must dare to integrate young members, without seeking to mould them to fit with the values and practices they deem to be outdated. It means not only training young members to carry the necessary message to their peers but also allowing them to challenge the strategic orientations suggested therein.
