With growing concern about the conditions facing low wage workers
and new challenges to traditional forms of labor market protection,
this book offers a timely analysis of the purpose and effectiveness
of minimum wages in different European countries. Building on
original industry case studies, the analysis goes beyond general
debates about the relative merits of labor market regulation to
reveal important national differences in the functioning of minimum
wage systems and their integration within national models of
industrial relations. There is no universal position on minimum
wage policy followed by governments and social partners. Nor is it
true that trade unions consistently support minimum wages and
employers oppose them. The evidence in this book shows that
interests and objectives change over time and differ across
industries and countries. Investigating the pay bargaining
strategies of unions and employers in cleaning, security, retail,
and construction, this book's industry case studies show how
minimum wage policy interacts with collective bargaining to produce
different types of pay equity effects. The analysis provides new
findings of 'ripple effects' shaped by trade union strategies and
identifies key components of an 'egalitarian pay bargaining
approach' in social dialogue. The lessons for policy are to embrace
an inter-disciplinary approach to minimum wage analysis, to be
mindful of the interconnections with the changing national systems
of industrial relations, and to interrogate the pay equity effects.
