Restructuring representation. The merger process and trade union structural development in ten countries

Throughout the industrialised world trade unionists are reforming their organisations as part of a strategy to adjust to new labour market, economic and political circumstances. This volume examines the role of merger activity in this process of reform.

Trade unions and the Cardiff process: economic reform in Europe

The Cardiff process, launched in 1998, aims to coordinate structural reform in financial and product markets, contributing to higher productivity growth and more flexible economies. It thus raises large questions, concerning both the ideology and direction of economic and social policy in Europe, and the issue of European governance.

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.

Trade unions without frontiers: The communist-oriented trade unions and the ETUC

This book, first published in Spain in 1999, has been translated by the ETUI and specially revised by the author to afford a less exclusively Spanish approach to the general question tackled, namely the development of the European trade union movement and its struggle in support of solidarity and a progressive social model within the framework of the European Union.

An emerging island?

The ETUC in the mirror of industrial relations research

In 1998 the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) celebrated its 25th anniversary, an occasion marked by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) with the publication of a volume of eleven articles on the ETUC. 

Occupation: International trade unionist. Struggling for justice in a global world

This autobiographical memoir describes the experience, and indeed the adventures, of a trade unionist who started out as a local CISL activist in his home town of Padua before leaving Italy to further the cause of trade union rights and dignity for all workers as an official in the service of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).

Professional and managerial staff in Europe

Professional and managerial staff exercise wide-ranging responsibilities in the economic and social life of european countries. They take their professional identity seriously and have nowadays come to play an active role in the trade unions, perceiving the importance of collective arrangements as well as of the processes of individualisation which are the stuff of their working environment.
