Trade
Unions in the European Union gives a thorough guide to the different forms
of employment representation in each of the countries of the European Union,
and to the different legal, political and economic conditions in which trade
unions operate. It also contains full details of EU legislation on workers'
rights.
The Maastricht Social Chapter marked the beginning of a much more comprehensive
process of integration than was first envisaged under the rubric of the 'Single
Market'. This new economic environment has had enormous implications for trade
unions across Europe.
The authors provide a wealth of statistical and factual information as well
as comprehensive tables, making Trade Unions in the European Union an essential
reference work both for British trade unionists and for academics in industrial
relations, labour law and human resource management.
Wolfgang Lecher is an industrial sociologist and researcher for the German
