| Summary: | The question here is whether health and safety committee-related expertise undermines elected health and safety committee officials as much as it strengthens them. This contribution by an expert disseminating scientific truth tends to disqualify what employees say about their work (even union members speaking in their name), with work-related discussions then being enclosed within a health and safety committee-related framework. Experts find themselves in in a situation where they become “organic intellectuals”, working in symbiosis with the union movement. The commercial framework of the expertise does, however, open the door to a fragmentation of work-related knowledge and privatisation thereof. The article offers certain elements enabling another conception of expertise and restoring the previous status of employees’ voice by integrating it into the worker movement and creating distance from the social and economic thinking that underlies its more more commercial forms. |
