Abstract

Resumen En el presente artículo, se examinan los recursos de poder de los sindicatos en España desde principios de siglo, por tanto, antes y durante la crisis en la que se han adoptado medidas gubernamentales que los han podido modificar. Así, se efectúa en primer lugar, una aproximación a la posición y situación de los trabajadores en el mercado y en el centro laboral; en segundo lugar, a la afiliación; y en tercer lugar, al entorno institucional legal. A continuación, se analiza la evolución de los salarios y del tiempo de trabajo, así como, la operatividad de los recursos. Se usan como fuentes de información las del Ministerio de Empleo aunque también documentales. El examen se encuadra dentro de ciertas controversias habidas desde principios de siglo en relación, por un lado, con la evolución de los recursos de poder de los sindicatos; por otro, con los fundamentos de los recursos institucionales que utilizan y con su eficacia. Los hallazgos de la investigación muestran que los recursos que han utilizado prioritariamente los sindicatos provienen de las instituciones en un entorno laboral caracterizado por la precariedad de la posición de los trabajadores y en el que los recursos organizativos han sido reducidos. También, que los fundamentos de las instituciones residen en la intervención del estado pero asimismo en las percepciones y pericia de los sindicatos. Palabras clave Relaciones laborales, negociación colectiva, instituciones laborales. The institutional intervention and resources of power employed by the Spanish trade unions in furtherance of worker representation The paper examines the power resources employed by the Spanish trade unions from the beginning of the present century. It covers the periods up to and during the present economic crisis when government measures have impacted upon union power. First it considers the position of workers in the labour market and workplace, secondly union membership and thirdly the institutional and regulatory environment of the unions. It continues to examine several concrete areas of intervention by the unions using the power resources available to them: salary negotiation; training: the autonomous resolution of conflict. The paper uses data sources of the Ministry of Employment. The discussion related to several debates in existence from the beginning of the century in relation to the determinants of union strategies and to the bases of the institutional resources used by trade unions and their effectiveness. The conclusion of the paper is that the resources primarily employed by the unions reside in the institutions in a labour market characterized by workers in a precarious contractual position and unions with reduced organizational resources. In addition the foundations of the institutions lie both in the intervention of the state and the perceptions and strengths of the unions. Key words Employment relations, collective bargaining,
