Trade Unions in the European Union: A Handbook

Trade Unions in the European Union: A Handbook

Trade Unions in the European is a thorough and up to date guide to the different forms of employee representation in the countries of the European union, as well as to different legal, political, and economic conditions in which trade unions operate. It also covers, in detail, the effects of EU legislation on workers' rights. With the coming into effect of the Maastricht treaty, there has begun a much more comprehensive process of Integration than was first envisaged under the rubric of the “single Market”. This new economic environment has enormous implications for trade unions across Europe. The essay in this collection contains comparative analysis, as well as a wealth of statistical and information, including over 40 tables and the relevant parts of the famous Social Chapter of the Maastricht treaty. The book is thus the essential reference work in this area both for the British trade Unionists and for academics in industrial relations, labour law and Human resource management.
