Austrian labor's bid for power: The role of the Trade-Union Federation.
In discussing the goals and tactics of the Austrian Federation of Trade Unions since its creation in 1945, the author of this article documents in detail his belief that Austrian labor's primary concern, now as in the First Republic, is the attainment of political power and the realization of a Socialist state. In spite of many obstacles, the labor movement has enjoyed considerable success in its drive for power, as indicated by the public support given its political wing, the Socialist party, and the fact that a large share of Austrian industry is publicly owned or otherwise controlled. The author is careful to point out, however, that this concern with political goals does not mean that Austrian unions neglect their collective bargaining responsibilities. He also explains why codetermination, though formally accepted as a goal, has never been pressed with such urgency in Austria as in West Germany. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
