Inter-Union Solidarity and Strategic Group Identity: Insights from Works Councils in the French Car Industry
研究了法国汽车行业劳资委员会中政治身份冲突的工会如何实现合作，提出战略群体身份概念来解释这种合作的构成、成败与持续性。
In many countries, unions, with conflicting political identities, compete for works council positions. However, inter-union solidaristic forms of cooperation can occur within these same institutions. This article advances the concept of strategic group identity to explain the makeup, success, failure and longevity of inter-union cooperation in this context. Based on case studies of inter-union conflict and cooperation on works councils in the French automotive industry, the article highlights the importance of inter-union identity congruence in examining responses to shared threats. Several implications for understanding inter-union solidarity are developed.
