Volume 18 Issue 4, November 2012
The overarching theme linking the various contributions to this eighth open issue of Transfer is the challenge for trade unions posed by the rapidly changing economic and political environment. A diverse range of sources of change are addressed, such as the political integration of Europe, the current economic and financial crisis, transnational restructuring of companies, the eastern enlargement of the EU and the adoption of EU directives.
