Abstract: This article draws on past as well as present to offer a systematic overview of co‐ordinated bargaining, which many commentators see as a likely vehicle for the ‘Europeanization’ of industrial relations. It argues that co‐ordinated bargaining is indeed likely to play a major role within the EU, reflecting not only trade union pressures but also management’s use of benchmarking to promote organizational change and competitiveness. The pace with which co‐ordinated bargaining develops is likely to vary considerably both within and between sectors, however, leading to multi‐speed ‘Europeanization’ and further decentralization of collective bargaining within national systems.
