Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations
The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)
The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of socialist trade unions.

Innovations and the challenges of social democracy
Trois réformes mentionnant la « démocratie sociale » sont intervenues en 2008, 2010 et 2014, notamment la loi « portant rénovation de la démocratie sociale » du 20 août 2008 et, plus récemment, la loi « relative à la formation professionnelle, à l’emploi et à la démocratie sociale » du 5 mars 2014. Elles ont été précédées par une loi de « modernisation du dialogue social » du 31 janvier 2007 tandis qu’en 2013 a été lancé un projet de constitutionnalisation de la démocratie sociale et qu’a été ouverte, à l’automne 2014, une négociation entre les partenaires sociaux sur « l’efficacité du dialogue social dans l’entreprise et l’amélioration de la représentation des salariés».
