Panel 22: Dealing with Change: New Roles and Capabilities for Trade Unions

It draws on examples of transnational multi-level bargaining campaigns (Gregor Murray), of the use of social media in international unions campaigns (Vincent Pasquier), of articulating between EWCs and local levels on the issue of inequality (Valeria Pulignano), and of the impact of the integration of digital media on trade unions’ capabilities and power resources (Christian Lévesque, Marc-Antonin Hennebert, Catherine Le Capitaine and Vincent Pasquier).
