German Unions Facing Neo-liberalism: Between Resistance and Accommodation

Heiner Dribbusch and Thorsten Schulten

Chapter 9 in The International Handbook of Labour Unions, 2011 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Since the 1970s, the spread of neo-liberalism across the world has radically reconfigured the relationship between unions, employers and the state. The contributors highlight that this is the major cause and effect of union decline and if there is to be any union revitalisation and return to former levels of influence, then unions need to respond in appropriate political and practical ways. Written in a clear and accessible style, the Handbook examines unions’ efforts to date in many of the major economies of the world, providing foundations for understanding each country.
