Di prossima pubblicazione nel volume Il diritto del lavoro e la grande trasformazione - Paradigma, attori, regolazione, a cura di Bruno Caruso, Riccardo Del Punta, Tiziano Treu, Il Mulino Bologna.

Starting from a recognition of the recent scientific debate on the crisis of the representative role of trade unions, the Author deals with the issue of disintermediation in the post-fordist/uberized economy and with its possible causes.
After this introduction on the alternative between the two opposite poles of a nostalgic retreat in a past of glorious unionism or, on the contrary, the acknowledgment of the end of the intermediating and representative role of trade unions, the Author focuses on a possible path of reconstruction of the strategic capacity of trade unions.
The renewal strategy, in the Author’s reflections, should be focused on collective - different, but interrelated - strategies ‘enlightened’ by six “polar stars” (values) towards which this path should be directed: unity in pluralism, equality, freedom, participation, solidarity, democracy.
