Main obstacles to affiliation
Services offered by the trade union happen to be insufficient to meet today’s young workers demands – need to adapt to today’s societyTemporary jobs in small companies make it difficult for them to organiseFears – instability of market; difficulty to get a jobYoung workers find no personal benefits – increased self-interest opposite to solidarity demandsThey demand exclusivity. Do not see an advantage if all benefits achieved are for all workersLoss of social and ideological motivation
