華隆這個個案的具體狀況，是資方在掏空案爆發後，仍繼續以壓縮勞動條件的方式茍延經營：華隆公司掌握著四、五千名員工的家庭生計問題作籌碼，持續向政府要求紓困；另一方面，又抓住工人擔心工作權與退休金不保的心理，對勞工予取予求，實行減薪、欠薪、利潤中心制等經營盈虧與工資連動的政策。華隆工會作為早期曾參與自主工會運動、至今也仍是苗栗縣產業總工會會員之一，近年來卻陷於工會幹部被開除、積極工會代表自殺抗議、工會對於資方的減薪裁員行為默不作聲之惡性循環。資方軟土深崛、工會步步退讓之表象下，工人有沒有過團結抵抗的機會？而這樣的機會又在過程中如何被解消？而台灣的自主工會運動在此場廠工會提供的協助為何？是我想要藉此個案研究加以釐清的問題。 / This thesis is about a plant trade union’s history. In this case, this company faced very serious financial crisis from the end of 1990s. The workers were owed salary for 3 months and then suffered serious salary-deduction problem after a failed wild-strike in Oct, 2001. It’s quite clear that the worker’s collective bargaining power is very weak in this plant and the internal democracy of this union is critical. I try to answer such problems such as, why can’t the workers unite under the leadership of their union committee members and fight back? How comes the labor movement in Taiwan do nothing for this plant trade union?

A história do século XX teve como grande divisor de águas a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Por mais que o conflito tenha devastado apenas partes do Velho Mundo, este foi seguido do que Eric Hobsbawm chamou de um tipo de colapso verdadeiramente mundial, sentido pelo menos em todos os lugares em que homens e mulheres se envolviam ou faziam uso de transações impessoais de mercado. A militarização da economia e a crise do fim da guerra foram fenômenos mundiais, assim como o acirramento das lutas sociais. A Argentina, como uma das principais economias da América do Sul, não ficou imune à estas perturbações, transformando a cidade de Buenos Aires durante este período em um importante palco de mobilizações operárias. Este trabalho, que tem como principal objeto de investigação a trajetória da Federación Obrera Regional Argentina IXª e sua interação com o Estado, patronais e outras agrupações operárias e de esquerda, pretende realizar uma análise desse período, relacionando os efeitos das flutuações econômicas desencadeadas pela guerra com a ascensão e o refluxo das mobilizações operárias naquela cidade / The history of the twentieth century had as its great watershed the First World War. As the conflict had devastated only some parts of the Old World, it was followed by what Eric Hobsbawm has called \"a kind of truly global collapse, felt at least everywhere where men and women were involved or were using the impersonal transactions of market\". The militarization of the economy and the war crisis were a global phenomenon, as well as the intensification of social struggles. Argentina, as one of the leading economies in South America, was not immune to these disorders, transforming the city of Buenos Aires during this period into an important stage for workers mobilizations. This work, which has as its main object the investigation of the trajectory of the Federación Obrera Regional Argentina IXth and its interaction with the state, employers and other workers and leftist groups, intends to conduct an analysis of this period, in which the effects of the economic fluctuations triggered by war relate to the rise and flow of workers mobilizations in that city

Procurando investigar a trajetória militante do anarquista Adelino de Pinho, utilizamos como fio condutor suas experiências e reflexões acerca da educação e do sindicalismo no Brasil. A pesquisa percorre as três primeiras décadas do século XX até o ano de 1937, quando os movimentos revolucionários foram desmantelados pelo Estado Novo. Foram abordadas as relações dos anarquistas com a educação e a formação das tendências clássicas do anarquismo. Buscamos verificar como o anarquismo fincou raízes no movimento operário brasileiro e como, nos congressos da Confederação Operária Brasileira, a educação foi vinculada à luta sindical. Por fim, diminuindo a escala de investigação, nos voltamos para Adelino de Pinho, perscrutando suas posturas sobre a educação, a Revolução Russa e o sindicalismo revolucionário. / This project investigates the trajectory of anarchist militant Adelino de Pinho through his experiences and reflections on education and labor unions in Brazil. The research covers the first three decades of the twentieth century up until 1937, when the Estado Novo - an authoritarian government that overtook the democratic state for the eight following years - suppressed revolutionary and social movements. The influence of Brazilian anarchism on education and the formation of classical anarchist thought are part of this debate. Yet, the main focus is to demonstrate how anarchism influenced the Brazilian labor movement and how education was central to the agenda of the congresses promoted by the Brazilian Labor Confederation. Finally, the research hones into Adelino de Pinho and his views on education, the Russian Revolution and Syndicalism.

Located at the intersections of new modernism, urban, and minority studies, Weimar Contact Zones examines the interplay between modernism, urban imaginaries, and the cultural production of the workers' movement. While the Weimar Republic has long occupied a paradigmatic place in discussions of modernity and modernism in literary and cultural studies, proletarian literature and the analytical category of class have played only a marginal role. Bringing canonical Weimar literature together with the marginalized tradition of workers' movement literature, film, and performance, the dissertation demonstrates that urban spaces functioned as contact zones where different groups interacted across lines of class and where hybridizations across boundaries of high and low culture occurred. The cultural production of the workers' movement becomes visible as a tradition that articulated and appropriated modernist aesthetics to catalyze and represent, from the standpoint of proletarian collectives, social transformation. Understood from this perspective, modernism is not limited to high modernism or the historical avant-garde, but includes alternative cultural forms that articulate modern experiences of the lower classes. Weimar Contact Zones in this way also challenges the opposition between modernism and realism, which typically aligns workers' movement literature with realism. The dissertation analyzes literary works by Anna Seghers, Franz Jung, Klaus Neukrantz, Kurt Kläber, Karl Grünberg, and the movie Kuhle Wampe, Or Who Owns the World?, amongst others.

This dissertation analyzes the changes introduced in the U.S.-Mexico food-chain, and the ways in which the multinational corporations that control the food industrial complex from seed to shelves have altered the labor dynamics of farm-workers. Over the past two decades, U.S. agribusiness and big retail-chains such as Wal-Mart have reached the top of the food pyramid and have come to control the process of production, supply, and distribution of agricultural inputs and perishable food. My study analyzes the impact of U.S. agribusiness on growers and farm-workers, focusing on how the integration of agriculture into a “free-trade” world economy has affected the working conditions of farm-labor. It explores how migrant farm-workers have responded to their deteriorating labor conditions with a campaign led by the Farm-Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) that involved innovative cross-border grassroots tactics and strategy. It traces how this campaign culminated in the achievement of the first labor contract for guest-workers in U.S. history. Based on participant observation, interviews with the workers and their union leaders, and the analysis of workers’ grievances, I conclude that such a reorganization of the farm-labor movement at the grassroots level is crucial to the creation of a food-chain that is capable of satisfying the needs of production and consumption for the global population.
