‪Le sentiment de discrimination des représentants du personnel‪. Une étude à partir des données statistiques et monographiques liées à l’enquête REPONSE

?While work on union discrimination is primarily interested in the objectification of penalties suffered by trade unionists, whether in court or in the statistical data, this article focuses on the determinants of the feeling of discrimination among trade unionists. Based on the data from the survey ? ?REPONSE? ? and three monographs, it analyzes the conditions which produce different perceptions of risks associated with trade union involvement. We show that this feeling is strongest in large firms where industrial relations are more institutionalized. The perception of discrimination is triggered by the interaction of four types of social relations: The relation of unionists to other employees, their relationship with company management, determined by the power relations with employers, their relation to law and, more broadly, to the concept of discrimination and finally, the relations between trade unions, through distinctive practices between unions and/or between unionists according to their position and militant trajectories.?
