Intersectionality and trade unions: A tale of class and identity?
本文以意大利为背景，通过交叉性视角分析主流和草根两类阶级工会如何应对由性别、种族、年龄等社会关系塑造的阶级异质性，探讨工会如何识别边缘工人需求并纳入集体谈判与内部结构。
Referring to the Italian context, this article aims to map two examples of class-based trade unions – one mainstream and one grassroots – through an intersectional lens. It explores how class-based unionism responds to the increasing class heterogeneity, shaped by intersecting social relations such as gender, race, age, gender identity and disability. Here, intersectionality is understood as a structural approach to trade union activity that, by focusing on power-shaped social relations rather than individual identities, enables an analysis of how unions recognize the needs of marginalized workers, translate these into collective bargaining, and integrate these workers into their internal structures and decision-making processes, to foster their voice within the union.
