Summary: |
Austrian political actors have improved the protection of outsiders by expanding the coverage of labour rights, social security , and active labour market policy spending in the past two decades. The article attributes these 'solidaristic' traits of Austrian labour market policy change to the persistent reliance of weak governments on trade union support in the mobilisation of a durable consensus. When governments are internally divided and prone to reform deadlocks, they face a powerful incentive to share policy-making authority with the social partners. Despite a significant decline in power resources, the Austrian trade union confederation has therefore remained influential enough to compensate outsiders for growing economic uncertainty on a volatile labour market. To substantiate this claim empirically, the article draws on primary and secondary sources as well as interview evidence with policy-making elites.

Summary in another language: |
Österreich erweiterte in den letzten zwanzig Jahren den Versichertenkreis des Arbeits- und Sozialrechts sowie aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitikausgaben zugunsten von „Outsidern“, d.h. atypisch Beschäftigen sowie erwerbsarbeitslosen Lohnabhängigen. Der Artikel führt die solidarischen Kennzeichen österreichischer Arbeitsmarktreformen auf inhaltliche Zugeständnisse politisch schwacher Regierungen an die Gewerkschaften zurück. Wenn Regierungskoalitionen wie in Österreich intern gespalten und anfällig für Reformblockaden sind, haben sie einen starken Anreiz, die Sozialpartner zur Konsensmobilisierung in den Reformprozess miteinzubeziehen. Trotz eines erheblichen Machtverlusts blieb damit der österreichische Gewerkschaftsbund einflussreich genug, um Outsider für eine gewachsene ökonomische Unsicherheit auf einem volatilen Arbeitsmarkt zu kompensieren. Um dieses Argument empirisch zu untermauern, greift der Artikel auf Primär- und Sekundärquellen sowie Interviewevidenzen mit politischen Entscheidungsträgern zurück.
