ENDÜSTRİ 4.0’IN İŞGÜCÜ PİYASALARINA VE SENDİKALARA ETKİSİ.

In the historical process, the world has witnessed many changes and transformations and experienced important turning point. In recent years, technological developments that affect everyone in social life trigger this change. Although the development process of technology is based on very old times, it reaches different extent in the 21st century. What makes this process different is that developing technologies intertwine and cause mutual interactions in physical and digital dimensions. This process, which is defined as Industry 4.0; With its components such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, robots, cyber-physical systems, 3D printers, big data, cloud computing, simulation, virtual reality, it deeply affects all social life and labor markets. While these social transformations offer some opportunities, they also cause problems such as inequality, unemployment, non-standard and precariousness employment. These problems increase the distribution struggle within the society and reveal the importance of unions and organization. Therefore, this study aims to explain the basic components of Industry 4.0, which leads to significant technological developments, to examine its positive and negative effects on labor markets, and to examine the roles and new organization strategies that the trade unions will assume in the face of these transformations. For this purpose, it has been determined that the injustice, inequality, unemployment, insecurity and poverty that Industry 4.0 has created and will create will increase the fight for distribution, and accordingly, the trade unions, which play an important role in creating a fairer society, as in the past industrial revolutions, will also be based on knowledge and technology in this process. It has been concluded that a different organization model is in search of a different organization model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
