Negative Positive
Title: Good briefings on each country
Review: A nice discussion of the recent history of industrial relations in the European Union and Switzerland. Each country gets a chapter explaining who its main trade unions are, their membership demographics, and a description of their counterparts in the corporate world. Comparisons are made between countries, regarding their relative levels of unionisation and industrial disputes.Often, the pressures of a EU-wide common market are also explained. The effects of these on nation-based trade unions, which are still most of them, due to legacies of language and history.The book is good for getting a quick, accurate briefing on each country and on the entire EU scene.
