The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between the recently approved Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Chilean labour struggle. Specifically, it aims to examine to what extent this directive can be viewed as a transfer of institutional power resources from workers of high power to those of low power. In order to achieve this, we use the Power Resources Approach as a theoretical guide and situate the problem in Chile, which has a weak union movement and poor institutional power of the working class. In spite of the generally weak picture, these two sectors have gained some organisational power. Therefore, by utilising it, we may be able to develop our analysis. Taking this into account, we emphasise the importance of defragmenting the Chilean labour movement in order to ‘realise’ the transferred institutional power resources.
