我國勞動合作社之現況與發展初探

Abstract

符合人性的勞動型態才是勞動力永續發展的基礎，但在傳統的勞雇關係中，階級的存在總成為對勞工支配與控制的根源，隨著全球化與數位科技發展，更強化宰制勞工的工作與生活。為對抗這不平等的從屬關係，單純依賴政府制定之法令政策來保護勞工，已無法因應現今不斷變動的全球化經濟環境。面對二十一世紀資本主義社會在自由化過程中所衍生之「政治或經濟貧困」問題，我們迫切需要的是一種可行的經濟方案作為補充或是並行機制，而其中公民與第三部門積極有效的參與將是關鍵。勞動合作社是一種不同於傳統勞雇關係的模式，社員亦具有勞工身分，每個社員為賺取生活所需，同樣付出勞力換取報酬，但參與管理的身分，卻讓他們多了更多的理念、責任與社會關懷。支持勞動合作社存在並非取代社會上其他就業模式，而是強調集結閒置人力資源達到共享之目的，並運用社會關係網絡深入社區，讓勞動者在競爭市場中，能有更多元的創業與就業機會。

The humanized work patterns lay the basis for sustainable development of labor force. But the existence of Class of the traditional employers-employee relationship is the principal source of domination and control for labors all the time. With the development of globalization and digital technology, the class has strengthened power to control labor`s work and life. To counter this unequal affiliation, it is no longer to confront the ever-changing global economic environment if we only depend on government policies and regulations to protect labor. Facing the problem of ＂political or economic poverty＂ arising from the liberalization of capitalist society in the 21st century, what we urgently need is a viable economic plan as a supplement or parallel mechanism. The active and effective participation of citizens and the third sector will be the key operations. The models of labor cooperatives are different from traditional employers-employee relationship. Members of Labor cooperatives are also labors. They have to work hard to satisfy their needs and the identity of managers will make them consider of more ideas, responsibilities and social care. Supporting the existence of labor cooperatives doesn`t mean to replace other models of employment in the society. It just emphasizes the purpose on sharing and gathering idle human resources, using social networks to reach communities, so that labors can have diverse opportunities to start an undertaking and jobs in competitive market.
