The service sector has not always received the attention it merits
in industrial relations research when set against its enormous
economic significance. One factor in this is certainly the highly
diverse nature of services. Research attention has also lagged
behind long-standing processes of transnationalization undertaken
by service sector companies and the challenges these pose for
policy and practice in the field of employment relations. This
study by Stefan Rub and Hans-Wolfgang Platzer represents a
pioneering effort to remedy this gap. Through six named company
case studies, Rub and Platzer explore the scope and background for
transnational employee relations conflicts and the mechanisms that
have emerged to resolve and anticipate these, highlighting the
complex relationships between employee representatives, management
and trade unions. The choice of case studies aims to capture a
broad range of service sector employment, in terms of both working
conditions and employment relations arrangements. As well as
covering a number of key sectors, the choice of home countries of
the selected firms also aims to capture the impact of national
influences for the main industrial relations models in Europe.
Overall, the study offers insights into the complexities of the
Europeanization of company-level industrial relations in a dynamic
field now also confronted by the convulsions unleashed by the
Eurozone crisis.
