Gewerkschaftliche Mitgliederpolitik: Schlüssel für eine starke Sozialpartnerschaft

Anke Hassel and Wolfgang Schroeder

WSI-Mitteilungen, 2018, vol. 71, issue 6, 485-496

Abstract: German trade unions have suffered for decades from declining membership, representation gaps and problems enforcing strong collective bargaining. The article analyses the pattern of union membership in an international comparison and discusses new approaches towards trade union membership policies. It thereby focuses on systematic approaches of organising strategies in the metal sector and the increasing use of membership surveys in order to establish members’ preferences and strengthen the legitimacy of trade union strategies in collective bargaining.
