dc.description.abstract | One of the distinctive characteristics of the trade union model in Southern Europe is the clear
political persuasion of the dominant confederations (mainly left-wing) and, with the exception of
Italy, their low membership density. The Great Recession ushered in a period of confrontation
between unions and governments over the application of austerity policies and radical reforms
deregulating the labour market, creating a hostile environment for unions, which responded by
intensifying their discourse and socio-political action in order to call for the support of workers
and alliances with other left-wing organisations. This article, based on data from the European
Social Survey, analyses the importance of the political attitudes of workers as a determining
factor of unionisation in Italy, Portugal and Spain over a significant period, from 2002 to 2018. The
results obtained reveal an important influence of political attitudes on unionisation in Southern
Europe, especially in Portugal. However, other variables also affected unionisation, notably the
negative influence of precarious forms of employment and the conjunction of the recessionary
economic cycle and neoliberal reforms that took place during the Great Recession. | es |
