The Detours of Solidarity: Labour Internationalism in the Third Industrial Revolution. The Swedish Metal Workers’ Federation in Colombia 1976-1986.
| The study deals with the historical compromise between labour and capital – the so-called ”Swedish model” – and the abandonment of the compromise in connection with the third industrial revolution. The main focus is on the transformations in working life and labour internationalism from 1970 to 1990. The strategies of the trade union regarding the protection of workers’ rights at local, national and international levels are of particular interest in the study. The relations between the Company Union Group at Ericsson, the Swedish Metal Workers Federation and the local unions at Ericsson’s factories in Colombia are examined in depth. The research is conducted through archive studies and interviews according to oral history theories. The theoretical perspectives in the dissertation are mainly inspired by postcolonial and world system theories.
