Trade unions in Europe face a range of cross-cutting challenges.
This includes the near-universal contraction in union membership;
the related decline of traditionally highly unionised blue-collar
industries; and the rise of automation, microprocessing, and
digitalisation, which can make it cheaper for employers to invest
in machines than to pay humans to work. The breakdown of the
standard contract of employment and increasing rates of precarious
work have further transformed the world of work. Taken together,
this makes any collectivist vision of society, and the notion of
solidarity upon which trade unionism is built, difficult to
sustain. All this raises tough questions for trade unionists,
policy-makers, and researchers alike regarding the future of trade
unions, the oldest and largest civil society movement in Europe.
The contributions in this volume explore the prospects for union
revival across a range of cases, including by focusing on the
pursuit of legal remedies and on the opportunities associated with
the network society to defend the interests of workers. This
interdisciplinary volume includes contributions that consider the
Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Spain, Sweden,
Poland, the United Kingdom, and the EU level by researchers coming
from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. The volume should
especially appeal to researchers and practitioners working in the
fields of political science, sociology, law, and business studies.
