Abstract: While in the context of the European crisis the German labour market has been declared a ‘job-wonder’, labour research has, for decades, identified a permanent crisis within the German working society. Underemployment, precariousness and work overload are just some of the symptoms of the crisis. By now it seems as though employees accept the crisis of working society both passively and apathetically. Contrary to popular opinion, strikes have decreased, membership in bargaining parties remains at a low level and social protests, as are currently taking place in southern Europe, are absent. At the same time, below the threshold of public perceptions, hidden labour disputes are arising, in which the symptoms of the crisis are becoming apparent. This paper demonstrates the course of developments within labour conflicts since the 1980s: labour conflicts are increasingly becoming part of everyday life. Empirical research not only reveals crucial areas of conflict, but also a general intensification of labour disputes.
