This paper assumes that the existing interorganizational structures of local unemployment groups and networks represent a necessary prerequisite, hut that they are not in a position to provide an adequate explanation of the intensity of protests and the differences in the two countries. We, therefore, refer to "third party" - above all trade union - support, which in its turn is strongly dependent on the country-specific structure of trade unionism. The comparative case analysis of the German and French protest episodes concludes that the competitive cooperation with left-wing trade union dissidents in France was far more conducive than the activities of the unemployed in Germany, which have long moved in the shadow of the national trade unions.
