The Brave New World of European Labor
Using a common framework developed by a collaborative Harvard University and Brandeis University affiliated research team, this volume surveys and analyzes the strategic responses of national unions in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain to the last two decades of economic change. Also evaluated is the response of Sweden, long seen as the most successful variation of the European model, as well as EU level transnational unionism. The volume concludes with a reflection on new union positions and their implications, particularly on the question of what will happen to the "European model of society" as a consequence.

A Comparison of the Trade Union Merger Process in Britain and Germany
Trade unions in Europe are currently facing a series of challenges that stem from changes to regulatory and production regimes implemented by the state and employers, in order to compete in an increasingly internationalized economy. In response to these challenges, trade union movements have been dramatically restructuring; long-standing principles of organization have been jettisoned in an attempt to develop new structures. Central to this process of structural adaptation are the mergers of trade unions. This informative book focuses on the merger process in Britain and Germany and, uniquely, it reviews the wider implications of these developments - particularly for North America. As well a...
Restructuring Representation
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. The book identifies the pattern of merger activity, the factors that promote its development and its impact on union structure and governance. Most merger activity is shown to originate in some adverse environmental change, such as membership decline. Furthermore, there is little evidence to suggest that mergers have improved union performance in the recruitment, retention and organisation of members, although, in some cases, the reform of sy...

Gewerkschaftsfusion und Tarifautonomie
Die Gewerkschaftslandschaft in Deutschland wurde im Laufe der letzten Jahre durch eine Reihe von Gewerkschaftsfusionen umgestaltet und befindet sich noch immer im Umbruch.Rechtlich ist dabei vorrangig zu klären, nach welchen Vorschriften sich eine Gewerkschaftsfusion richtet. Es fragt sich insbesondere, ob das in erster Linie auf Verschmelzungen von Wirtschaftsunternehmen zugeschnittene Umwandlungsgesetz auf Gewerkschaftsfusionen Anwendung findet, was einen kollektiven Übergang von Mitgliedern und Vermögen im Wege der Gesamtrechtsnachfolge ermöglichen würde. Der Autor weist nach, daß dies nicht der Fall ist. Vielmehr müssen Mitglieder und Vermögen jeweils nach den allgemeinen Vorschr...
