Overcoming borders. Legal categorisation of gender, “race” and class in transnational labour conflicts

关于就业的法律规定与集体代表制结构密切相关。这些都是主要在全国范围内组织起来的结构和行动形式。这就是为什么我们认为跨国劳资冲突中的集体行动(主要由倡导网络组织)具有一种非常具体的司法化：可以从集体行动和集体权利与个人人权和反歧视权利的概念对比中加以分析。基于两种现象-跨国价值链上的工人集体组织和德国移徙工人的集体组织--本项目在第二个资助期审查了工会、非政府组织和其他民间社会行为者等跨国行为者如何利用法律类别，特别是“性别”、“种族”和阶级类别，以及个人权利如何被用于集体化。我们认为，在跨界冲突中组织集体行动比在国家范围内更难，因此往往利用个人权利，特别是人权。在这一背景下，我们想知道，跨国界团结以及代表权的概念是什么。在第一个资助期研究的基础上，将拟定关于“集体/个人权利”之间关系的概念性说明。

The legal regulation of employment is closely linked to structures of collective representation. These are structures and forms of action that are predominantly organized nationally. This is why we assume that collective action in transnational labour conflicts (which is predominantly organized by advocacy networks) works with a very specific kind of juridification: It can be analysed in a conceptual contrast of collective action and collective rights to individual human rights and anti-discrimination rights. Based on two phenomena--the collective organization of workers along transnational value chains and the collective organization of migrant workers in Germany--this project, in the second funding period, examines the way in which transnational actors such as trade unions, NGOs and other civil society actors utilize legal categories, especially that of “gender”, “race” and class, and how individual rights are used for collectivization. We assume that collective action is more difficult to organize in cross-border conflicts than in the national context and therefore often draws on individual rights, in particular human rights. Against this background we ask, what ideas of cross-border solidarity but also of representation are being articulated. On the basis of research from the first funding period, conceptual statements on the relationship between “the collective / individual rights” will be developed.
