“For the CGT, in these companies acquired by cooperatives, it is often the cooperative itself, which has saved jobs, that must be defended. The failure to recognize the divisions that affect wage earners hinders the political subjectivity of subordinate workers and can lead to disengagement from activism. In fact, this devalues certain union practices that were previously valued in the workplace, such as confronting the boss or management, which provided social recognition for workers. Material demands are also devalued in this context, and different wage relationships are imposed based on one's position in the production process. The demand for a wage increase, important for subordinate workers, is less so for union leaders and managers, who prioritize defending the cooperative.”
