Underground waterlines Explaining political quiescence of Ukrainian labor unions Denys Gorbach Abstract: In order to explore factors conditioning the political quietude of Ukrainian labor, this article analyzes ethnographic data collected at two large en- terprises: the Kyiv Metro and the privatized electricity supplier Kyivenergo. Focus- ing on a recent labor confl ict, I unpack various contexts condensed in it. I analyze the hegemonic confi guration developed in the early 1990s, at the workplace and at the macro level, and follow its later erosion. Th is confi guration has been based on labor hoarding, distribution of nonwage resources, and patronage networks, featuring the foreman as the nodal fi gure. On the macro scale, it relied on the me- diation by unions, supported by resources accumulated during the Soviet era and the economic boom of the 2000s.
