4. 2. Constructing Workers of Migrant Background : A study of class and nation myths in trade union practice

   Author : Mai Lundemark; Hannah Bradby; Susanne Urban; Martin Bak Jørgensen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Trade unions; representation; migrant workers; class; nation; race; discourse analysis; myth; Denmark; Sociologi; Sociology;

   Abstract : How do trade unions represent workers of migrant background? How are factors that affect the quality of life of workers of migrant background, made sense of and responded to by trade unions trying to reverse declining trade union membership numbers? This thesis takes a qualitative approach and utilises discursive constructions as a semiotic entry point into the social practices of trade unions and their responses to workers of migrant background. Combining semiotic theory of Roland Barthes and Stuart Hall with critical discourse theory of Norman Fairclough, trade union work is conceptualised as a social practice that comprises both semiotic and non-semiotic elements.
