Anläßlich des Metallarbeiterstreiks in Baden-Württemberg wurde eine kurzfristig geplante Studie über die unmittelbaren Reaktionen der Bevölkerung auf den Lohnkonflikt und über die grundsätzlichen Einstellungen zu Gewerkschaft und Streikrecht durchgeführt.
Themen: Interesse an Politik; Einstellungen zu Streiks, Gewerkschaft und Aussperrung; Kenntnis von Forderungen der Arbeitnehmer und der Angebote der Unternehmerseite; vermutete Sympathie der Bevölkerung für die eine oder andere Seite; vermutete Ursache für Preissteigerungen; Beurteilung der Verdienstmöglichkeiten der Arbeiter; Mitgliedschaft in einer Gewerkschaft.
Contents: Background of the struggle; The demands in steel; The condition of the steel worker; The strategic line; Outcome of the strategy; Conclusions.
An attempt is made to provide additional insight into understanding & explaining the origins & causes of the strike of 60,000 African workers in Durban, the largest port of South Africa. All sample firms exploited their African workers. A latent conflict over wages existed in the whole of industrial Durban. In strike firms the wage issue was manifest. There was a lack of opportunities for African industrial workers. Restricted job mobility was a manifest point of conflict at the time of the study. Black Indians were given promotion preference over the Africans which was also a manifest conflict. Legal & social provisions were used to prevent or hamper blacks from entering positions held by white workers. Africans had no alternatives & they were not allowed to strike. It is possible that the rising cost of living served to reactivate the existing latent grievances. L. DeForge.
