Abstract:
Global markets, economic crisis, and new actors as well as new types of relations among actors are reshaping the context within which European unions operate. Among the challenges unions face is the need to rewrite their own process of multilevel representation. All these challenges that trade unions face are present in the EU context. The EU has transformed institutions, labor relations and the realities faced by union members in a way that would have been impossible to imagine 20 years ago, despite the tension between national and European Union polices in the construction of a Trade Community. In this panorama, the trade unions have tried to create spaces of influence in the construction of the European society with some successful results. The goal of this panel is to analyze the reflection and impact of general EU debates within the union movement.
In recent decades unions have developed complex and interactive strategies in relation with institutions of the EU, with negotiation and conflictual activism both playing a role. This will be the topic of the paper presented by J. Lopez, who will analyze the impact of these strategies on the regulatory process. T. Haipeter will offer a perspective on alternative policies in the relation of unions and work councils in order to maintain rights and stop the degradation of labor conditions in Germany. L. Ortiz will analyze in his paper the relation between mobilization and membership, studying different models of trade unionism. M. Freedland will focus on the difficulties that the new framework of flexisecurity.poses for union strategies about job security. B. Caruso paper will study the context of the new ways of labor regulation with the Open Method of Coordination.
