Özet:

Unions, which have the task to protect the economic and social interests of their members, are going through a difficult process caused by global effects while fulfilling this task. Intense competition, the spread of flexible production and flexible working forms are important global challenges that narrow the sphere of influence of unions and lead to a decrease in union density. These difficulties also led to the emergence of debates about the job security function, which is one of the main functions of unions. Unions are positioned in a flexible and increasingly precarious labor market order. The unions, whose job security functions have weakened, seem to have entered a process towards precarious unionism. The questions before us are whether the precarious trade union movement will make concessions or gain privileges for the unionized workers or newly unionized workers with weakening job security. The researches carried out so far have tried to find answers to some questions such as how well the unions can fulfill their job security function, the perceptions of the employees regarding this function of the unions, whether there are differences in the practice of public-private unions regarding job security. In the study, the concepts of job security and job insecurity, the importance of job security for unions, researches on the subject, findings and the precarious unionism movement are mentioned. The study aims to shed light on the possible problems that unions will face in terms of job security in the face of flexible employment markets and conditions.
