Public opinion inside a historical labour union: reminiscence paradoxes and cognitive models

Abstract

The definition of a situation inside a labour union is a collective fact which has, however, a more active nucleus close to the central sectors (hierarchy, member delegates). This definition is reached through historical cognitive habits which are inside every labour unions culture and gives rise to an ideology (sistematic postulates) in the organization writings and produces an internal public opinion. To modify or not modify that culture is a broad strategic question which is outside this analysis.
