Main Article Content
Abstract
En Europa, la actitud de los afiliados sindicales hacia la inmigración es moderadamente tolerante cuando éstos se sitúan ideológicamente en la izquierda política. Esta actitud es diferente de la de los ciudadanos no afiliados a los sindicatos, pues es restrictiva. Las posiciones ideológicas y las actitudes dibujan una U gráficamente hablando: en un extremo se ubican las posiciones de izquierda, asociadas a alta afiliación sindical y actitudes moderadamente tolerantes; en el otro se ubican las posiciones de derecha, con baja afiliación sindical y actitudes restrictivas.
Los factores que influyen en las actitudes negativas son el desempleo, los bajos salarios, los contratos temporales y otras formas de precariedad que estimulan la competencia por los escasos recursos de trabajo y bienestar. La crisis y el desempleo contribuyen al fermento de las actitudes restrictivas.
Why do Trade Union Members Have Different Atittudes towards Immigration?
Abstract
In Europe, union members’ attitudes towards immigration are moderately tolerant when they are ideologically located on the political left. This behavior is different from that of non union members’, whose attitude is restrictive. Ideological positions and attitudes draw a U-shaped pattern. At one extreme are the positions of the left-wing, associated with high union membership and moderately tolerant attitudes. At the other extreme are right-wing positions, with low union membership and restrictive attitudes.
Factors that influence negative attitudes include unemployment, low wages, temporary job contracts and other forms of precarious employment. Competition for scarce jobs and welfare resources explains these attitudes. Nowadays, the economic crisis and unemployment contribute to restrictive attitudes towards immigration.
