':3 TRADE UNIONS IN EUROPE: FACING CHALLENGES AND SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS

Trade unions in Europe are in process of transition as they adjust to changing economic and social circumstances. The accelerated pace of economic internationalisation, the adoption of neo-liberal policies, and the wide-ranging reform of production regimes undermined the forms of union organisation that dominated the period until the mid-1970s. This book examines the range of trajectories pursued by trade unionists in sixteen countries in response to these challenges. Available in English and German and soon in French.

The introduction of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has far-reaching consequences for collective bargaining all over Europe.

In order to avoid downward competition on wages and working conditions there is a principle agreement among European trade unions for a close coordination of collective bargaining policy at European level.

Since the mid-1990s the European Metalworkers' Federation (EMF) has developed an ambitious concept for a coordinated collective bargaining strategy. Collective Bargaining under the Euro – Experiences from the European metal industry presents a first evaluation of EMF policy after the introduction of the Euro.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNDER It includes analysis of the recent developments THE EURO in metalworking collective bargaining in eight EXPERIENCES FROM THE EUROPEAN METAL INDUSTRY European countries (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Edited by: Thorsten Schulten and Reinhard Bispinck the United Kingdom) and discusses from each national perspective the experiences, problems ETUI and European Metalworkers’ and prospects of the EMF approach.
