Three scenarios for industrial relations in Europe
an article by Richard Hyman (London School of Economics) published in International Labour Review Volume 154 Issue 1 (March 2015)
Abstract
The author outlines three scenarios for the future of industrial relations in Europe.
The first – perhaps the most realistic – projects continuing erosion of national industrial relations systems and conditions of employment, in line with current trends.
The second envisages that “elite reform” from above will succeed in re-engineering industrial relations and workers’ protection according to an ideal social policy agenda – an unlikely prospect given the overriding importance of financial considerations and globalized competition.
The third scenario centres on a counter-movement from below which presents trade unions with the daunting challenge of mobilizing the discontented far beyond their traditional constituency.
