노동운동의 이론적 모형 : 퍼얼만의 이론을 중심으로 Cheifly on Perlman's Theory = A Theoretical Model of Labor Movement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Theorizing about labor movement has always been an elusive, complex task, in great part because the labor movement has taken widely differnt forms historically, even in the same country and takes different forms currently in various parts of the world.
Thus, This paper attempts to help stimulate our thinking about complex labor theory and to confirm some of nature of labor movement theory by analysing one of the most important labor theorists, Perlman's theoretical structure of labor movement.
He developed a theoretical model of businesss unionism which idiologically accepts the capitalist system and bases its strategies on an assumption of the job consciousness of workers, in contrast with many european movements which reject the capitalist system and base their strategies on an assumption of the class consciousness of workers.
His core logic of explaining labor movement are as follows ;
1) he rejects the idea of class consciousness as an explanation for the origin of trade unions and substitutes for it the notion of "job consciousness". It is not until the manualists became aware of a scarcity of opportunity, Perlman maintains, that they band together into unions for the purpose of protecting their job and apportioning available employment opportunities on an equitable basis.
2) He sees the funcion and object of labor movement as an interest group for workers within competitive market economy ; the trade unions function to increase labor's bargaining power, partically over matters of "job security and control". He, therefore, rejects any kind of wide ranging political action by unions which is not directly related to their economic function
3) He provides three-factor system shaping the development and form of labor movements ; the resistance power of capitalism, the degree of dominance over the labor movements by the intellectual mentality and the degree fo maturity of trade union.
4) and thus, he regards future of the labor movement as an optimistic view.
I think that his first, such a series of comprehensive and systematic explantion in the field of labor theory would enable us to understand the important aspects of nature, motivation, development and forms of labor movement whatever it may have some of its weakenss.
