Social movements, colective action frames and labour instability

Abstract

The socio-construccionist approach emphasizes the importance of defining conceptual and theoretically shared collective action frames for the study of social movements. However, in order to understand collective action, up to now little research has been done analyzing the meaning and the shared nature of these frameworks among political activists. Therefore, we analyzed these dimensions in the collective action frames that support the daily struggles of the activists of the anarquist minority union CGT (General Workers Confederation). We Identified 3 shared collective action frames that support their daily actions, 2 of them with greater potential to support a broader struggle against labour instability.
