Sozialdemokratie und Gewerkschaften: Eine besondere Verbindung

WSI-Mitteilungen, 2020, vol. 73, issue 4, 247-255

Abstract: The special connection between social democracy and trade unions results from their common origin in the labour movement. With the end of the classical labour movement, the political relevance of this relationship has also become more difficult and volatile. In this article the thesis is put forward that the increased distance cannot be explained solely by whether the SPD is in the position of opposition or takes a share of governmental responsibility. Rather, this is due to diverging socio-structural interests, a more pluralistic competition between the four social state parties and a growing institutional complexity in the party and trade union arenas.
