Trade unions and the challenge of fostering solidarities in an era of financialisation
本文重新审视英国工会为何在投入大量时间和精力后仍难以复兴，指出金融化在资本积累、组织决策和日常生活中制造了新的障碍，阻碍工人内部及群体间建立必要的团结，从而削弱了工会应对金融化及金融危机对劳动造成灾难性影响的能力。
This articles re-examines evidence that trade unions in the UK have struggled to renew themselves despite considerable investment of time and effort. It argues that financialisation in the realms of capital accumulation, organisational decision making and everyday life has introduced new barriers to building the solidarities within and between groups of workers that would be necessary to develop a stronger response to the catastrophic effects on labour of financialisation in general, and the financial crisis specifically. The crisis highlighted the weaknesses of trade unions as institutions of economic and industrial democracy, but has also given some opportunities to establish narratives of solidarity in spaces and platforms created within a financialised context.
