Abstract: Continuing high unemployment is a big economic and socio-political challenge in Germany, as well as in many other countries. The problems with employment have been intensified with the current economic and financial crisis. When the goal of full employment is unattainable, there are numerous negative consequences. Closer examination reveals that the globalisation dispute is frequently used to push particular interests. Politicians are trying to shift the responsibility for problems elsewhere. Internal problems and lack of capacity to act are blamed on anonymous globalised markets. The globalisation dispute is used by employers to divert trade union policy and the national government policy to a more entrepreneur-friendly course. The aim is to achieve political action as adjustment to economic pressures of the world market, or alternatively, in the protectionist direction.
