unionsbaserade

Unionsbaserade means based on or organized around trade unions. It is used in Swedish to describe organizations, policies, or methods that derive legitimacy or resources from labor unions or their members. The term combines the Swedish word for union, fackförening, with the suffix -baserad meaning based on.

The concept is commonly used in discussions of labor relations, social policy, and political organizing. It is often contrasted with government-based or market-based approaches. The term may appear as unionsbaserade or fackligt baserad in different contexts.

Examples include wage-setting models in which unions are central actors in negotiations; union-based welfare initiatives financed or administered in close cooperation with unions; or research and advocacy campaigns that mobilize primarily union structures. It can also describe funding structures where dues or contributions come through unions. The precise meaning depends on the specific context.

A unionsbaserad model can strengthen worker representation, collective bargaining power, and solidarity, but may also limit participation to union members or align with particular occupational groups. In practice, many systems mix unions-based elements with government or market mechanisms. See also fackförening, kollektivavtal, facklig demokrati.
