在新自由主义时代，非营利服务部门同时也是(A)市场化重组和集体和个人抵抗以及(B)提供服务的替代形式的场所。本文基于加拿大非营利性社会服务部门人种学研究的一部分收集的数据，探讨了一些重组对八个加入工会的非营利性社会服务机构的专业、准专业和管理人员的影响。数据显示，社会工会的采用允许一些非营利性社会服务工作者启动新的程序，通过这些程序在深远的社会问题上发表意见，有时是与管理层和/或客户联合。这项研究的结果表明，参与精神及其寻求新形式和做法的能力是不可阻挡的，尽管当今非营利性社会服务部门的条件紧张和重组。
During the era of neoliberalism, the nonprofit services sector has simultaneously been a site of (a) promarket restructuring and collective and individual resistance and (b) alternative forms of service delivery. Drawing on data collected as part of an ethnographic study in the Canadian nonprofit social services sector, this article explores the impacts of some of restructuring on professional, quasi-professional, and managerial employees in eight unionized, nonprofit social services. The data show that the adoption of social unionism has permitted some nonprofit social service workers to initiate new processes through which to have a voice in far-reaching social issues, sometimes in coalition with management and/or clients. The findings of this study point to the irrepressibility of the participatory spirit and its capacity to seek new forms and practices despite the stretched and restructured conditions of today's nonprofit social services sector.
