Organising - A Strategic Option for Trade Union Renewal?

"Against the background of a deep crisis in trade union representation, the
\nauthors seek to determine some possible starting points for a renewal of
\ntrade unions. The employees’ organisations are seen as actors who have a
\nstrategic choice as to which power resources to tap. Though the specific
\nnational systems of industrial relations influence the unions’ strategic options,
\nthere are nevertheless various opportunities for trans-national learning
\nprocesses. This contribution analyses the potential for trade union renewal,
\ndrawing on several examples of organising approaches in the USA
\nand Germany." (author's abstract)
