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 as
addressing the reasons for mergers, the book also examines the
process whereby mergers are concluded, investigates the
consequences, and analyses the costs and benefits of the
post-merger organisation. Drawing on interviews conducted with
senior policy-makers engaged in merger processes, this book
explores the extent of internal union reform brought about by the
merger process, and also identifies the implications of this reform
for trade unions world-wide. Structured in distinct sections, this
book covers topic such as: what distinguishes the British and
German systems? trade union structures pre-merger issues settling
the terms of the mergers post-merger developments. This book forms
part of the Routledge Research in Employment Relations series
featuring works of high academic merit drawn from a wide range of
academic studies in the social sciences. It is a valuable resource
for postgraduate students studying business and management,
industrial employee relations, and trade unions.
